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?

As the other Jeff pointed out, there's reasons to NOT use wood,
but it's not because wood is bad. Purely a dimensional change
problem.

Although, I suspect that the original poster is thinking of
strapping a 2x4 across two legs of the tower and using just enough
"arm" to get the dish to clear the tower. It may work, and it may
be a nightmare trying to accurately align it.
