Hi Martin,

>so for these antenna supports I think I'd use man_made=antenna and maybe some subtag to specify the kind of support if you want to
man_made=antenna should be kept for antennas, not their supports.
There are currently proposals for antennas mapping, which is a
terrible pain without 3D in OSM (but out of the scope of this thread)
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/Key:antenna

Since masts, towers, etc... are common supports and structures, words
like antenna (the device on the support) should not be used even if
the first purpose of those supports is to carry antennas.
If we use "antenna" when antennas are on a mast, we'll have to use
"camera" where there is no antenna but camera on the same type of
mast.
All the best
