Radio-echo observations of sporadic meteors at 68 cm are described. Sufficient information was gathered to permit the computation of the velocity, height, duration, and intensity for most of the meteors. The principal conclusions reached are that (a) the meteors recorded at this short wavelength are seen over a height range not sensibly different from that at long wavelengths; (b) the effective scattering lengths of the trails are short (∼50 meters); (c) the over-all lengths of the trails average 6 to 7 km; and (d). evidence of fragmentation is found in about 50% of the meteors observed. The visual magnitude of these meteors, estimated from their rate, corresponds to +8. The short effective scattering length is attributed to a rapid initial expansion of the trail diameter. Five nighttime meteor showers were also studied. By continuously directing the antenna beam at right angles to their paths a very high ratio of shower to sporadic meteors could be obtained. The velocities of the five streams have been measured and also their mean over-all trail lengths. The mass laws obtained for the shower meteors indicated many more bright members than in the sporadic background but are believed to be inaccurate owing to the effects of fragmentation raising the echo intensity above that expected for a solid particle.
