K1KI and (many?) others have suspended wire 4 squares
around towers using sloping ropes with either sloping T
or sloping inverted L elements.  K4SQR sells a good
switch-box for $300+.  An 80M "4 SQR" is typically
70 ft on a side which means 100 ft diagonals.  Each
element will therefore be 50 ft from the tower.  Elevated
radials can be used but better / more predictable results
are obtained with 30 or more radials (each) on the ground.
