We present results of a continuing program of observations of SNRs in the [Fe X] 6374 Å and [Fe XIV] 5303 Å coronal lines using the Fabry-Perot spectrophotometer of the Observatoire de Marseille. We have measured these lines at numerous places along the northeastern ridge of the Cygnus Loop. Our data generally agree with previously published brightnesses, obtained with non spectral techniques. The brightest [Fe X] features reach 5 10-7 erg cm-2 s-1 sr-1 averaged over 10 arcmin2. Evidence for line broadening (100 km s-1 FWHM) in a few bright fields is presented.
