You may be able to hack around this if you can get permission to install
another antenna below your current antenna. Then get a diplexer, place it
up the tower and mount the other band's super stationmaster upside-down
below the primary one. You'll have to see about water drainage issues, of
course.

Seems preferable to do so as some sites have reported interference issues
from unterminated coax in the building attached to antennas on the tower
no longer in use.
