Years ago there was a genious system called "dirc" (or so).
Never heard again about it...maybe it was too good?

That's an urban tale from the time for short wave transmissions....

UNDER a transmitter antenna, there is only a weak or almost no field

The antenna bundles it's energy mostly to a horizontical plane 
to get as far as possible arround.
