Observational data relating to the duration of radio-echoes from overdense meteor trains are presented and discussed, with particular reference to the differences between daytime and nighttime conditions. Experimental distributions of echo-duration for different meteor showers observed at various radio frequencies have been collected from several sources. When interpreted in terms of duration distribution theory (which, as developed here, represents an important revision of previous theories) these data are shown to be consistent with the assumption that free electrons are removed by an apparent three-body attachment mechanisms, at a rate which is approximately three times higher at night than during the day.
