There is much more energy in one visible light photon than in one RF photon.. The fact that photon energy varies directly with frequency blows your "jumping electron" theory right out of the water, i.e. recognized as a scientific myth by all rational technical people since long before any of us were born. "Electrons jumping off an antenna" is akin to the theory of a flat earth at the center of the universe. Do you still believe that one?

If and when an electron leaves an antenna, it ceases to be exposed to the RF energy that is causing it to vibrate and *becomes like any other electron floating in space* - devoid of frequency and oscillations - incapable of propagating a coherent RF wave. Photons have no such limitations.
