I use center fed, half wave slopers which don't depend on the tower
except for support. They work very well at a 60 degree angle.
Unfortunately that means a pretty tall support for 75/80 meters to get
60 degrees. That's about 143' tower for just running the antenna from
the ground to the top of the tower. Add about another 10' for clearance
on each end and that's a lot of tower.
