My friend, there are 88 persons who have mapped 520 antennas 
(https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/keys/antenna).

Compare it to the billions of antennas out there and I think we are far below 
the "/noise level/" and that all energy "invested" in trying to regulate this 
is... lost energy.

The only antennas I would personally map and tag are those who are enough 
conspicuous to represent landmarks.
