I think {jeqwI'Du'} works a lot better than {DuQwI'Du'} for antennae.
Or you could call them {jargh nochDu'}.
For antennas (in my experience, the radio kind typically doesn't use
the Latin-style plural) I have a problem. There's no simple functional
description I can think of. A simple physical description would fail
to cover all the styles of rigid metal pole, stretched wire
("aerial"), microwave horn, and whatever a subspace radio antenna
looks like. I'd probably end up coining something silly and unobvious
like {Se' qogh}, and I don't want to do that.
