<In the April 1984 issue of CQ magazine is an article on how to build a folded 
cage monopole around a tower with yagi antennas on top? You can get a copy from 
the CQ Magazine archives
<CQ Magazine Archives - April 1984. 

##  depending on the height of the tower, another possible configuration is a 
.25 wave sloper..or loaded .25 wave sloper.   Its basicly an upside down GP, 
with an elevated feedpoint. 
Then all thats required is a single  130-140  foot long wire.   That plus coax 
to the elevated feedpoint.
