150 feet is only about 0.3 wavelengths.  There could still be interaction.

You have three towers nearby.

Since the dedicated vertical/L could have a better radial field I would go that 
way and run the horizontal wire/rope to one of the towers.  I have only one 
tower but that's exactly what I'm doing.
