However I learned firsthand from the commander of the F-117 unit that there were antennas on the plane that provided the "stealthiness."

The only way to nullify the radar with antennas is by going active (radiating a signal which counters the incoming radar). Going active is like waving a big red flag, telling some smarty pants to nail you with an ARM (which is what our Wild Weasles do).

Passive stealth technology is totally different from active jamming. The F-117 reflects/absorbs radar in such a way that not enough of the pulse comes back to the receiver for the equipment to register it. IOW, the radar only gets a very small portion of its signal back, and that signal cannot be read above the background noise.

The word "antenna" may be inaccurate, but there's something else stealth technology than shape. You're parroting the "official story" without analysis.
