AIUI, the wave / particle duality of the photon means that it has a
beginning
and an end, from the particle model.

Therefore, the wave model must exhibit amplitude modulation to have such a
beginning and end.

What is the waveshape of such amplitude modulation?

Planck's hv gives a fixed, particular energy for each photon; so how many
complete cycles
does the photon have within its amplitude envelope?

For those who maintain that RF radiation from antennae is composed of
photons, where
does each photon end and the next one begin?

What experimental evidence is there that RF photons exist (it is easy to
show the existence
of continuous waves, of course)

These are pretty fundamental questions raised from the claim of photons and
perhaps the inability
of the photonists to answer them is indicative of their weak and uncertain
knoweldge of the subject area?

You can apply all those arguments to a torch (flashlight), and they will
be equally unhelpful.
