To expand on the other posters, if you can do voice around the world (a few kHz bandwidth) on those frequencies you should very easily be able to do very low bandwidth modulation for data and at reduced power. It would be nice if I could do typing speed but I'd be thrilled with 1 bit per second. Looking around they do have HF packet capable radios but they are quite expensive. I'm going to research those a bit later.

HF digital modes are very common on the shortwave bands. Look up PSK31, etc.. You can convert any SSB (voice) HF radio to digital by connecting it to a computer's audio card.
