Hi Gary. Although I have not had the opportunity to
implement a tower detuning, I have given it a bit of
thought and wonder if this idea would work.
You say you already have a Gamma rod which
makes me think you also have a simple series matching
capacitor to your feedline. I would think that relay contacts
in that drop line could select either your matching
capacitor during transmit or another added detuning
capacitor to radial ground during receive. Hopefully
resonating a small section of the tower. YMMV
