The character of the radio echoes obtained from the ionized trails produced by meteors has been investigated. The dependence on the polarization of the incident wave has been studied and the existence of resonant scattering with transverse polarization verified. The magnitude of the resonance and its dependence on the electron line density, α, is found to be in good agreement with theory, as is also the variation of echo amplitude with α.
