4 X 4 Post as a vertical Insulator support ???

I'd like to up up a fullsize 80 m vertical and support it in on 4X4
pressure treated posts and have it several inches
above ground level. Actually I was planning using using a couple of
sections of lightweight aluminum tower
with tubing out of the top for the added length. Is there
a problem using pressure treated lumber? Dry enough
to insulate well?
