Interesting question. The problem is that radio frequency photons are so weak (i.e. low energy) that they don't ionise atoms, so I can't see how to construct something like a photomultiplier, which could respond to a single photon.
A bit better would be to think of it as a complex number you need to "square" (i.e. multiply by its conjugate) to get a probability density at a given point (x,t)
