Abstract: A radiating antenna system (30) comprises a plurality of vertically erect secondary antennae (34) disposed in a pattern about a vertically erect primary antenna (32). An electrically conductive screen (36) which surrounds the pattern of secondary antennae (34) includes partially-buried, partially exposed electrical conductors (54) which have exposed ends (54b) thereof electrically connected to one or more above-ground, loop-forming cables (52). A series of open-ended transmission lines 70 are suspended in an essentially horizontal plane above the ground with each of the transmission lines (70) being electrically connected to a top of an associated secondary antenna (34). The secondary antennae (34) are excited in a manner whereby radiation therefrom essentially cancels sky waves radiated by the primary antenna (32).
