Robert,

Consider a half wave dipole sloping off the tower in the desired 
direction(s).  I've done that at an old microwave site that has a 
massive 140 ft tower (roughly 10m square at the base, 8m square at 
the top). The tower acts as a reflector, with gain I would estimate 
at 2-3 dB over a dipole. 

73,
