Why not build your self a 2 element beam pointed straight up?

string it between your towers with the reflector at about 15 feet up and the 
driven
element at about 65 to 75 feet up? All you would have to do is centre the 
feed point
between the towers and at about 5 feet from them droop the ends. (about 20 
feet
of wire per side, raise the ends of the reflector)
Sort of like an rectangle, if you understand.

A real sky warmer but should work great for short haul.
