Maybe since my Beverages have to be at least 8 feet high to avoid the deer horn (yes we have them in the field were my beverages run). Driving a 10 ' 2X2 into the ground requires me to carry along a step ladder. The way I described allow me to driving in the and 8 foot metal post, which has stabilizer blade, about I.5 feet into the soil. My wooden paint stick gives me another 30 inches which yields me a total of 8 feet allowing the deer to pass underneath. These deer are voracilus when they get their horns tangled and the Beverages are usually toast when they are done wit them. The metal fence posts are very sturdy and stable.

Why don't you nail or screw a cross piece of needed length to the top
of each post, and screw a threaded porcelain standoff insulator so it
sticks up on each end.  You can find them at hamfests.  They are
usually white porcelain cylinders with tapped holes on each end.
Since it is only for receiving there might be an even easier hardware
fix.   You could probably transmit with my construction.
