Agree completely, but I'd consider something like that C-channel thing with the
band slots that I linked below. The weakest point on that is probably leverage
on the protruding stud. And I guess thinking of it that way, if they took
something like that and used it backwards by replacing the stud with a long rod
through pole and then banding a pipe to it, it might be stronger that way. But
for my money, if I was going to do something like that I'd put galvanized
Unistrut bolted through the pole and Unistrut conduit clamps.
But more likely than any of that I'd use the 4" standoffs that came up in the
beginning of this thread, but probably heavy duty ones like from Site Pro or
similar. I'd put the pair of those 12" apart with fat lag bolts into the wood,
and I'd be comfortable using that to put a mast a few feet above the top of a
pole.
But there are probably a hundred ways to do this, and I'm not gonna say any of
them are wrong.

We have used theband-it to secure cables on a tower. It's a great product, but
I would not consider it strong enough to secure an antenna mount.
