Stan the tower and top loading sound like a reasonable starting point. The
close proximity to a steel framed building is no help. Just guessing you will
have a distortion of your pattern and hard to imagine how much signal loss, so
as long as you maintain a maximum current point up near the top.
My concern is how will you accomplish an effective counterpoise system if
you’re able to employ raised radials, that would be even better. This antenna
will be better than no antenna on 160. Your lowest loss counterpoise or radial
system is paramount.
Good luck.
