Your speculation doesnt fit observation on several points Tom.
For example Sporadic E is a seasonal phenomena. Here in Australia it peaks
around the same SEASON as you are having now ( in Decamber).

Please remember meteor radar is MUCH more sensitive than visual or forward
scatter. The equivalent visual magnitude is around 13.
