It's not like that. The photons and the wave-like effects of their
probability distribution functions, exist simultaneously. You cannot
separate them, therefore they are generated by a single process that is
exactly equivalent in both atoms and antennas.

In atoms, theenergu process is from energy transitions of individual
elelctrons, but that is not the mechanism in antennae.

An antenna is nothing more than a conductor with an impressed AC voltage.

All this time I thought it was an AC current!

Umm, you do know the vast majority of RF sources are voltage sources
and if one ipresses a voltage upon an impedance a current results?

Wow! So what happens if one pushes a current through an impedance?
Inquiring minds want to know!
