I like that idea, Bill. Also, if you can think of a way to do it, 
consider wires insulated from the tower, sloping away from it, and fed 
from the base against radials or folded counterpoise. If you can elevate 
that radials at least 20 ft, you can get away with 4-8 per wire. Add 
radials to the tower and it will act as a passive reflector, giving you 
a couple of dB in the direction of the slope.

Also look at the several arrays of sloping wires in ARRL antenna 
publications. As I recall, there's at least one in the ON4UN book.
