Hi,
maybe the Points to Path plugin will help you with that.
I's quite self-explanatory:
You need a point layer for your towers and it should have an attribute  
column indicating the group (in case for only one line necessary an equal  
attribute for all points, like "1") and one indicating the order of the  
towers (1,2,3,4 or a,b,c,d).The group attribute you can generate with the  
field calculator, the latter maybe also with field calculator -> record ->  
$rownum (in case those points were already digitized in the right order)


But in case, the points are not already digitized in the same order the  
lines will run, it will be quite time consuming to give each tower the  
right order attribute.
For 350 items, i would then better propose to simply digitize the lines.

Thats how "I" would do it. Maybe there are better solutions
