Howard has an interesting thought, but since it is hard to fit a 102 foot 
antenna into your lot, it would be harder to fit one that is 135 feet long. 
But perhaps a 40 meter windom which is half the size would fit.   Roughly 45 
ft on one side of the feedpoint and 22 feet on the other.   Coax feed, no 
ladder line, and no tuner needed on most bands 40 and up.

Whatever you do, I would take advantage of the existing tower.  Like Phil 
said, , getting some more height either by an existing mast, or adding 
something to the tower will help.  I would also try and take advantage of 
that 40 foot width of the back yard  by running some of the antenna in that 
direction.   Get that part as high as you can by using  supports attached to 
the fence or fence posts.

Good luck, Steve KW3A
