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.


Why not? Don't antenna have atoms and electrons?


irrelevant

Isn't the EM wave made by the electrons movement?


With voltage pressure giving rise to acceleration, yes, but not by quantised
changes of electron orbits.

Electrons generate packets of EM energy called Quanta.


Irrelevamt.

I expect you are bright enough to calculate the energy of a single EM
quantum at 1 MHz. How much energy is it? What is the size of *any*
quantum?


I say that they do not exist. Let those who claim their existence make such
a calculation
and thereby ridicule themselves.
