(meteorobs) Alternative radio quantification of meteor infall?

[Thomas Ashcraft]

This has probably been thought of and done before but if not then here 
is an idea.

In forward scatter radio meteor observation the usual goal is to get an 
accurate count of individual meteors. The problem with radio meteor 
counts is that when a fireball occurs that creates strong ionization 
then the following seconds or minutes of clear radio baseline are 
obliterated and until the fireball ionization dissipates individual 
meteors cannot be counted.

I am thinking that there may be an alternative method of forward scatter 
radio meteor observation wherein the radio spectrogram/chart is visually 
scanned for all space dust ( dots and specks) and fireball phenomena ( 
color mass on the spectrogram)  with some sort of a scanning software 
program that can then tally and quantify the accumulated meteor marks 
and masses to create a measure of meteor infall. 

At the least, this would be a measure of meteor induced ionization.
