ABSTRACT:
A shortened electrical grounding system for use with a vertical antenna, particularly AM limited range information stations. The grounding system has a plurality of fractional wavelength electrically conductive members joined together and connected to the electrical ground of the transmitter associated with the antenna. The fractional wavelength electrically conductive members can be made of wire or metal panels both of which can be fanned out about the base of the vertical antenna in a substantially circular pattern. The electrical grounding system can be buried in the ground or can be used above ground as a counterpoise. The electrical conductors making up the ground system can also be incorporated into a mat made of plastic or other suitable material which can be positioned at the base of the vertical antenna.
