May I suggest u get your hands on John True's (W4OQ) article on 
 shunt
feeding existing towers for low freq in May 1975 Ham Radio.  If 
 u can't
locate it, send me a business size SASE and I'll sent u a 
 copy.  It's
straighforward and easy for less than super technical 
 folks like us to
understand.

I use one for both 80 and 160 (two 
 towers) and they work great for an easy
way to get on the low bands 
 w/o a lot of new construction.
