Abstract
Observations of the Lyrid meteor shower in 1997-2005 by a forwardscatter radio system for meteor observation operating simultaneously along two baselines, Bologna-Lecce (Italy) and Bologna-Modra (Slovakia), are analysed and discussed. The activity curves of long-duration echoes (≥ 8 s) and their variations indicate a complex structure of the stream. The Earth crosses the stream at a half maximum rate level in about two days. The overall activity peak derived from all observed returns is at solar longitude 32.30o (eq. 2000.0). The mass distribution exponent s and its variations in the period of the shower maximum indicate a relatively stable population of meteoroids in the stream exhibiting filamentary structure.
