%X H109a, recombination line observations are used in an attempt to classify 46 galactic radio sources as either supernova remnants or HII regions. Long integrations at the H109a line frequency on two well-known supernova remnants (IC 443 and 3C 391) provide improved upper limits on the line emission from these objects. From these results the electron temperature in IC 443 is estimated to be in excess of 1·6 × 104 K.
