To put things in perspective, and just as an example, we have about 186000 amenity=drinking_water, that is an antenna every 26 water taps... If for those 7252 antennas (/out of billions/) someone is willing to tag technical characteristics like operating frequency and polarization, my objection about verifiability and observability still hold, but please, go ahead if you really want. I still fail to see _who could benefit_ from that fragmentary, sparse, information of unknown quality: I surely would not (/but I'd probably be interested into knowing how high the antenna stands and approximately how big it is.../).
