Can you use modulated shortwave(30mhz) radio as a telecommunications media for streaming HD VOD, wireless internet and HD streaming audio?


How far can the signal go and still be heard?

How far can the user send their signal back to the tower?


The signal is modulated as QAM-4096.


The transmission tower is the height of a 60ft-80ft pole with ERP of 1500w. The user's radio has a ERP of 200w(10 channels/20w per channel) with a directional waveguide antenna and a 55dB amplifier(similar to whats in modern cellphones).
