Attention is given to the problem of radio wave reflections emphasizing the role played by the first Fresnel zone, which lies across the foot of the line of sight perpendicular to the trail, while practically ignoring the role played by the other Fresnel zones. As a result, a radar echo does not give any evidence to the tract of maximum ionization along the same trail. The present paper shows that, under some specific conditions, even the reflection from the tract of maximum ionization can be detected in a meteor echo. Finally, it is noted that such a possibility is significant, since knowledge of the height at which the maximum ionization is located leads to the determination of the coefficient of meteoric ionization in the upper atmosphere.
