Under the conditions you speak of, it might even make more sense to hit the
coaxes with the slant wire then the tower. Essentially what you have is a
copper rod running up the tower to a certain height. Since the copper line is
one piece and conducts better then steel, it might work better then attacing
the feed to the steel tower. Of course, the lines MUST be well bonded to the
tower all the way up to minimize/eliminate circulating currents. At least once
per tower section at a minimum.

    My experience has been that, as long as *all* of the coaxes have 
enough ground kits on them as they ascend the tower, such that none 
of them can have circulating currents in their outer conductors that 
become significant, the coaxes are not a problem.
