I agree on the sloping dipole as a MUCH easier solution. You might want to
consider using a ZS6BKW antenna installed as a sloper. I used one in that
configuration for over a decade with the top at 75' and was constantly amazed
at how well it worked, especially considering it cost less than $80 back when I
bought it. It's 92'' long with coverage from 80m thru 6m and a tuner is only
required on 80m & 15m. It's only unique requirement is that the 450-ohm ladder
line connection needs to be fed with at least 100' of coax as a matching
element to its function.

How about a sloping dipole, Stephen? Upper half at 30° to the tower and
bottom half 30° from the ground , in the shape of extended V. I had
excellent experiences with such a dipole...
