I've got the Nobel Committee for Physics on line 2 should you accomplish that trick for DCs more than 30 km (18.6 mi) distant. Edit: Nevermind (misplaced decimal).

10 msec * c = ~3000 km or ~1860 miles.

Of course light doesn't travel that fast through glass and there is latency at the hardware on either end. ;)

Units foulup. I'd used 0.10ms, not 10ms.
