Photons?

1. For those who suggest that RF transmissions are made up of photons,
what is the amplitude envelope of each photon, and for how many cycles does
it exist?
Consider this. Waves and photons exist in visible light at any frequency.
If the frequency is lowered below the visible spectrum all the way down to
say, 1 MHz, at what point do the photons disappear?
Or do they just get weak?
As a photons energy is Plancks constant times frequency, the energy gets
smaller as frequency decreases until the limit of zero frequency, where
the photon doesn't exist.
