VI. A radio echo method for the measurement of the heights of the reflecting points of meteor trails

Abstract This paper describes a method of finding the heights of occurrence of meteor trails from the radio echoes obtained by broadside reflection on a frequency of 60 Mc/s. The range of the reflecting point from the observing station is measured by the radio pulse technique and its elevation is determined by comparison of the signals received in two aerials mounted at different heights above a horizontal reflecting surface. Results obtained by this method during the Quadrantid shower of 1949 are in good agreement with those of visual observers.
