Abstract
We suggest that systematic investigations at different heights, time of day and year, to look for clear differences in decay times as a function of initial trail echo strength, can give information on a content of the elusive background of dust particles. In such an investigation, the presence of substantial amounts of small positive or neutral dust particles should lead to a significantly smaller apparent decay time for weak trails than for strong trails.
