Summary
The geminid meteor shower observed by a radio forward-scatter system on the baseline Bologna-Lecce (Italy) in 1994 is discussed. The 1994 Geminid shower exhibited a distinct maximum for overdense echoes of duration >1 s, with the peak rate on December 13, 21–22 UT at solar longitude 261.0° (equinox 1950.0). The maxima of echoes of longer duration (>8 s and >32 s) are shifted to solar longitude 261.3°.
