If the tower is at least 60 feet with some antennas on top or 75 feet 
without I would first try the method N4KG published in a 1994 QST (reverse 
feed) with at least 4 elevated radials.  I have set this up twice and used 
Spi-Ro coils to make 50 foot
1/4 wave radials.  Full size would probably work even better.

The article is "Simple, Effective, Elevated Ground-plane Antennas",  June 
1994 QST starting on page 45.
