However, I'm concerned about the interaction between the tower and the
ladder line. Some of the info I've read suggests it's not that big of a
deal as long as the ladder line is a few inches from the metal. Other
info I've read suggests otherwise.
Since you said you are using a tuner, you don't care if the line
impedance is changed moderately by the proximity of the tower.
You are probably fine if the spacing to the tower is 2 or 3 times
the wire spacing of the line. Try to keep balance by putting
the line broadside to the tower, rather than end wise. Also
avoid running it adjacent to a leg, rather run it up the face of
the tower.
Again, since you have a tuner, it is very non critical.
