The Harold E Holt Naval Communication Base has been mapped using
power=line for the antenna transmission lines and
man_made=tower, tower:type=communication for the towers.
See https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=15/-21.8177/114.1688
I did start some proposals for antennas .. but most people don't
understand them ..
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/antenna:use#Values
And then there is the problem of rendering.
