A Windom with an open (ladder) line would also work. Sometimes you want to work
without a tuner as some of us consider a tuner a PITA. (I love tuners myself.
Have several of them and use them all the time.)

Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] effect of two wire antennas end to end
The greatest amount of interaction would be between the feedlines!
Why not ONE zepp antenna between the two towers and use open-wire
feedline and a tuner?
