<div>Subtagging (or a property) seems better for the "uplink"

+1 to having uplink/downlink' as a sub tag. Actually I think Tx/Rx
(transmit/receive/transceiver) are better as that can be used on
terrestrial antennas and has more detail. And yes these would need
some knowledge to tag correctly for some installations. These can be
seen as a property of the antenna, But I would not use the words
'type', 'property', <br>

The disk is technically not the antenna, it is a reflector. <br>
