This paper describes a method for using echo rates to determine the relative geocentric strengths of each of the diffuse sporadic radio-meteor sources found previously by Jones and Brown (1994) in the orbital surveys cataloged at the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Meteor Data Center. We have demonstrated the method by applying it to some data collected continuously between 1991 and 1992 with a 'short-hop' forward-scatter system between London (Ontario) and Ottawa and find encouraging agreement for the relative source strengths found by other workers. Although our method needs some refinement, the results so far indicate that the strengths of the various sources are substantially constant throughout the year.
