Others use a sloping wire fed at the bottom and a few ground radials - essentially using the tower as a support.
In this configuration, the tower can also act as a reflector, providing a few dB of directivity in the direction of the slope. Whether it provides GAIN, and how much, will depend on whether the tower has a decent radial system, and on its electrical height (including the top loading provided by the parts of antennas that are bonded to their mast.
