The predicted cooling times for meteor train electrons in a recent calculation (Baggaley and Webb, 1977) are an order of magnitude smaller than the experimental values of Delov (1975). Delov's results are based on the apparent variation with time of the ambipolar diffusion coefficient deduced from the decay rate of radio-meteor echoes. An alternative explanation for this apparent variation is presented as being due to radio wave reflection processes. Additional experiments are suggested which may be used to determine the source of this effect.
