If you're asking if you can hear the ion storm generated when a meteor passes through the atmosphere on a shortwave radio, the answer is... it depends on the radio and the antenna, but probably not. With all the digital hash and other QRM the others have been discussing, it'd be very difficult to pull that noise out of all of the other noise.

I've got a hallicrafters 5-tube SW/BC radio, and with all the garbage around Columbia, about all it's good for now is keeping my coffee warm.
