Too close to the mast, the antenna may be obstructed at mast direction.
Too close to the funnel, the radome is easy to get dust, then it will decrease RF performance of antenna.

Too close to the mast, antenna can not get 360° free view to sky. The site needs to be re-selected, must be far away from obstructions while
the height of mounting bracket should be made as high as possible.
