A question for the RF Photonists amongst you
 
Suppose that I had a 14MHz dipole at least 10 wavelengths away from
surrounding objects, and it is detecting a continuous 14MHz signal with
1 uVolt at the feed point, how many of your RF photons (from
the hv relation) are arriving simultaneously to give that signal strength?

There is no such word as "Photonists".

An antenna doesn not "detect" anything.

A photon is a quanta of energy.

Power is energy/time.

Power is voltage squared divided by resistance.

The problem reduces to grade school mathematics; find a 12 year old
to help.
