Thanks for the replies, I ended up scraping my radio I will try it again some time in the future tho I also bought a radio transmitter and experimented with it, its pretty neat but I still have no idea how the heck it works, I mean I get it to work but have no idea how it actually works Thank you!

can it also be called electromagnetic energy? I googled "electromagnetic energy" and it seems like they describe the same thing as electromagnetic radiation And by standard you mean the way people usually refer to Electromagnetic energy/radiation/waves?

Is it safe to say that all the electromagnetic spectrum is Light and the part we see is only called the VISIBLE Light spectrum and also can the electromagnetic spectrum be called Electromagnetic Light? Electromagnetic Energy? Electromagnetic Radiation? Is it all the same?

Well firstly let me say that I am no expert but it seems like the number of protons that determine the different elements is like a puzzle made by the universe? I mean they are all in sequence... am I missing something?

lol! Thanks for the laugh... I bought this thing since I am trying to understand how it works in the most simplest form.

I purchased a fox hole radio set and it doesn't work... I followed the instructions and looked at the wiring and everything is connected properly, one thing I noticed tho is the coil only has 21 turns... and every fox hole radio I see has atleast 120 turns... I am a little discouraged about it not working and not knowing why but this just increases my curiosity hopefully someone can help me out!
