[Tagging] Mapping of VLF antenna lines

[Clifford Snow]

Thanks for everyone's input.

Greg - man_made=guy doesn't work for me because it's not a guy wire, but
the actual antenna.

When looking at power=line, the key power is what all of the it's tag
describe, from power plants, towers, poles, substations, lines and to
many other power features. man_made on the other hand is like a catch all.
man_made=antenna should be the right tag since the lines between towers are
the actual antenna. Taginfo shows only 576 antennas mapped as ways.

If I was energetic I'd suggest moving communications into its own key. But
right now, I need a glass of wine.

Best,
Clifford
