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

Nope.

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

Based on a false premise, so a meaningless question.

What is the waveshape of such amplitude modulation?

Based on a false premise, so a meaningless question.

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

Based on a false premise, so a meaningless question.

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

Based on a false premise, so a meaningless question.

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

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photon

Read the 74 references at the end of the article.

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?

There is no such word as "photonists".
