Anywhere you want - from 1-inch above the top of the tower to 20-feet
or however long your mast is (within certain engineering considerations
anyway).
The antenna distance above the tower has more to do with mechanical
strength than for any other reason. I'd go as high as you could go safely and
reliably.
