Narrative:

I made a radio announcement that I was departing the airport heading north. Another aircraft flew in front and slightly above me during my initial climb; causing a near-miss in the traffic pattern. This aircraft made several other landings without using a radio and was not entering the traffic pattern mid-field as expected.
