We summarize our radio (Australia Telescope Compact Array and Australian Long Baseline Array) and X-ray (XMM-Newton) monitoring observations of the unusual ultraluminous supernova SN 1978K in the nearby (4.13 Mpc) late-type barred spiral galaxy NGC 1313 at {approx}25-30 years after the explosion. We also discuss the search for an associated gamma-ray burst. Full details and references are provided in Smith et al.(2007, ApJ, 669, 1130)
