A new forward-scatter meteor observation method has been used since 1996 in Japan. It uses its own 50 W continuous wave beacon with a broad directivity antenna on 53.750 MHz. To compensate for the weak echo power from the beacon, observers use SSB mode receivers and narrow band echo detection methods with Fast Fourier Transform software on personal computers. More than 250000 echoes have been counted per year so far. >From these results, diurnal and seasonal variations have been derived and are presented and discussed here. This method (HRO) will continue to play a leading radio observation role in Japan for the future.
