> I wonder if it is a US/UK thing? Primarily, yes. Though Wiktionary has the following usage note: > Some make a distinction between an antenna and an aerial, with the former used to indicate a rigid structure, and the latter consisting of a wire strung in the air. For those who do not make a distinction, antenna is more commonly used in the United States and aerial is more commonly used in the United Kingdom.
