I have worked for a long time with a forward scatter meteor radar and
you can see a list of works on radar observations of meteor showers at
my personal home page (the http address il listed below). If you need
reprints, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Last year I elaborated a new approach to forward scattering and related
the signal strenght to the meteor height. You can find a preprint at the
xxx server (http://xxx.lanldot gov/), preprint astro-ph/9804279.
For the moment, this is only a theory, but I am searching for
experimental data. Now I have find the valuable help of several european
amateur astronomers and if you want to join us you are welcome.
Perhaps you may be interested in the International Conference
"Meteoroids 98", that will be held in the Slovak Republic next august
(http://www.ta3.sk/%7Ene/Meteoroids98/).
