I'd go about a foot, just to give room for the rotator loop. All you
need is enough mechanical clearance for cables "and such". I'm
installing a C19XR just above the top of a 25G with a WARC-7 10 to 12'
above that. The 2" mast will extend down into the tower 12' to 14' to
the rotator.

I follow the height part and agree, but I'm not so sure what you mean by
separation. In my case it requires a mast to get the second antenna the
required distance/separation above the tribander.

Agreed. You should have seen what I had on top of the 45G.
