<p><tt>Hi,</tt></p>
<p><tt>I was looking at the wiki for antennas <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dantenna">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:man_made%3Dantenna</a></tt></p>
<p><tt><br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>I made some additions to the definition and added some photos
etc. <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>It is still rather sparse. I'd like to be able to further
define what the antenna is.</tt></p>
<p><tt><br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>Unfortunately on the German wiki there is the use of
antenna:type .. with a confusing set of values. <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt> (eg communication, special, </tt><tt dir="ltr"
class="mw-content-ltr"
style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6">parabolic_satellit,
</tt><tt><tt dir="ltr" class="mw-content-ltr"
style="background:#EEF;font-size:1em;line-height:1.6">parabolic_satellit_uplink</tt>,
radar) <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt><br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>These appear to be the use of the antenna. <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>Perhaps this could be antenna:use=radio/TV/radar/wifi/cell_phone</tt></p>
<p><tt>I don't think 'communication' is a good tag - any antenna
performs the function of communication. <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>Similar for satellite (note last 'e' for British English), that
might be all you can tell from the configuration and direction
of the antenna but does not define its use. <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt><br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>Then the 'type' of antenna .. better described as
antenna:configuration ?</tt></p>
<p><tt>Values could be monopole, dipole, yagi, dish ... yes dish
will have sub tags for the feed system etc. <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt><br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>Broad thoughts? <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>Not after detail at this stage but antenna:type to others
such as;</tt></p>
<p><tt> antenna:use? <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>antenna:configuration? <br>
</tt></p>
<p><tt>antenna:mode=tx/rx/2way for the direction of communication? <br>
</tt></p>
