Given how much operating is being done these days using complex remote stations, it strikes me that a 10x10 hut at the base of the tower, with everything in there but the operator end, is entirely feasible and not even that expensive.  There are wifi extenders on the market that certainly could reach that far, and it wouldn't take many copper runs for RF, rotators and other control circuits to far exceed the cost.
