I guess you didn't like my previous (private) answer to your question,
where I informed you that you would need CONSIDERABLE Top
Loading to feed a 120 ft sloper for 160M at the top, recommended
that you feed the (isolated?) 120 ft tower as a single vertical
with a GOOD radial field (that will take at least 1 acre of land),
and that a 160M 4 square with an effective radial system would
require 4 acres of land.
OR, the answer from W8JI who has made a 160M 4 square
from a 200 ft tower (but NOT a 120 ft tower as you propose).
When you finally find the answer to how to make a 4 square
with good gain and pattern for 160M, suspending 4 wires from
a single 120 ft tower, you should apply for a PATENT.
It will be a FIRST.

p.s. I strongly recommend a study of antenna fundamentals
to obtain a grasp on what is and is not feasible.
(Hint 1: 4 square gain from 4 wires coming together at the top
and fed at the top is NOT feasible.
Hint 2: Vertical antennas without a good ground system
consisting of at least 30, preferably 60, or more radials,
or saltwater, are very POOR radiators).
