IF you could send morse code at super sonic speed and use the power of your DSP sound card.....  
It IS possible to conduct a short QSO bouncing off a single meteor flashing across the sky.

The concept of sending and receiving high speed Morse code is not new.  Using a tape recorder it is possible to record you CW message then play the recording into your transmitter at high speed.  At the receiving end, the message is recorded on a high speed tape recorder and then slowed down to normal speed so the Morse code signal can be decoded.  Works great with the significant time available to bounce signals off the ionized effect of a meteor shower

Using the advantages of your DSP soundcard in your computer, WSJT encodes your  message using frequency shift keying (FSK) to increase the efficiency of your message for transmission at the rate of only a fraction of a second.  Quick enough to be achieved in both directions with the aid of a single meteor trail.... if you can catch one.  Recent upgrades have added 2 more FSK sub-modes featuring
Forward Error Correction (FEC)  WOW!
