You are going to get a ton of suggestions... Let me give you mine off the top of my warped little brain.. Couple of options here...
Shunt feed the Rohn 45 tower on 80 meters... Get out as many radials as you can as long as you can...
Shunt feed the other tower for 40 meters...
Or string a caternary line between the two towers to hang a trapped, wire vertical for 80 and 40...
Put up a horizontal loop for 40... This will play better than you think, plus it will make a low noise receive antenna for the 40 vertical, and if you put a relay to open the loop at the far center, it will make a low noise receive antenna for the 80 meter vertical...
A small tribander for the other bands, and you are in business...
Dunno about all the VHF/UHF stuff you have - been there, done that, boooring...
