Figures.

Several commercial tower sites I used to service used wooden
cross supports between telephone poles. The antennas were
bolted directly to the wood cross pieces.

And no, there was no grounding straps/bonds across the supports.
The only grounds the antennas saw was the "ground window" going
into the building.
