All I had on my tower were the 3 coax cables and rotator wire which were all 
taped to the tower about every 5' which apparently decoupled them. The coax 
also had about 15" of large 43 mix ferrite beads over them right at the 
feedpoint a few years before I was on 160. That was for TVI prevention.
