Odd to see the term "antenna" used here. "Aerial" is the common
term for broadcast stuff - I tend to use antenna only for radio
astronomy - in a probing sort of way.

Common usage keeps changing with living languages.

That happened with airfield/airport too.

But airfield and airport now have separate meanings.

They didn't originally.

Well, not in the days when Heathrow was better known as Hounslow Heath.

Antenna isn't used by anyone, is it?

Yep, by heaps.

Especially when talking to furriners.

I am a licensed radio amateur.

Me too.
