Comments appreciated.

Before doing anything serious with the tower, I suggest that you first do an NEC model of your 160M antenna(s) including the tower and study the interaction. You might find the interaction is beneficial, or not. Over the spring and summer I did that and found strong interaction between the tower and my original Tee vertical, and also between that Tee vertical and some sloping wires I had rigged off the tower to act as TX verticals. Further work allowed me use that interaction to provide useful gain in three directions.
