For man_made=mast and man_made=tower there should be a multiCombo for the communication:*=yes tag, e.g.:

communication:radio:yes
communication:television:yes
communication:mobile_phone:yes
communication:microwave:yes

Also the name for man_made=mast should be changed to just "Mast".

I don't have any strong preference what it's called - maybe it was originally called "Radio Mast" to differentiate it from masts on boats? The word "mast" also sometimes describes the riser where electrical service enters a building.

Radio Mast was added here: #2613 - no mention of boats. Just seems weird to have radio in the name when a mast might not be used as a radio transmitter.

The word "mast" also sometimes describes the riser where electrical service enters a building.

No idea what that is, you'll need to show me a photo! :)

All of the man_made=mast terms should also be copied over to man_made=tower as the latter doesn't have any defined.

I guess there is some good info on Wikipedia here too

Let's just leave it as "Radio Mast" since "Mast" can mean a bunch of things.

Masts are not always used for communication, this title is appropriate for man_made=mast + tower:type=communication tag

Unfortunately, it fits even better to tower:type=radio which is less frequently used.

Some other "tower:type", which are used in combination with man_made=mast, are lighting, siren, lightning_protection, and radar.

The key tower:type is defined in the wiki to allow user-defined values, and many man_made=mast don't have any specified tower:type.

Maybe we can call man_made=mast "Mast (Radio etc.)", "Mast (e.g. Radio Mast)", or "Mast (small tower)".

Ok, we can change it to just say "Mast". I really don't care.

Maybe add “radio mast” as a synonym for this preset?
