VK7 BPL update

Media watchers may have picked up during the past days that Aurora Energy has finalised the deal with Launceston based Inspired i-Land to take over TasTel - Aurora's failed telco venture.

Inspired i-Land is a franchise of the Bendigo Bank Group and is an active participant in Community Telco Australia (CTA) program which is attempting to expand Australian regional telecommunications network developed by the bank.

Justin has placed two BPL reports dated September and November 2007 onto the VK7 BPL Watch page in the last fortnight. These include a comprehensive HF Noise Floor chart prior to installation of BPL in South Hobart and two charts following the activation of BPL and subsequent rise in the noise floor due to BPL emissions.

What these measurements clearly demonstrate is that BPL emissions account for an increase in the noise floor of between 20-40dB or a noise floor that is between 100 to 10000 times higher than the pre-BPL noise floor level.
