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.

I'm not sure I'd want to hang a TVRO dish on one. Have you ever been on
the upper levels inside the Post Office building on Mt. Wilson?
