I simply cannot resist. The simple solution is to replace the coax with
a length of open wire line (window ladder line for anyone under 40 years
old). Bring the open line off the tower at an angle and terminate it
wherever convenient with a DX Engineering balun, then run coax to the
tuner/radio. There are recommended lengths for that open line, but
usually it is not critical. Twist the open line two to three twists per
foot so it does not act like a sail in the wind. Problem solved. 73
