Well, with that big coil, it looks like a homemade radio.

Yeah, reminds me of my 50 in 1 kit as a kid...looks like some kind of radio.

Correct, short wave crystal radio receiver. If you ever get stranded in a deserted middle of nowhere forgotten by God place with just some junk and scrap pieces littering around - here's how to do it: http://www.creative-science.org.uk/radio.html

It kind of looks like my first amp, which was a Crate that was actually inside of a crate. It was a complete piece of crap.
I'll bet that sounds better than my amp did.

So basically those dumbasses on "LOST" could have made one of these and been home by now :D

Sure, and rigging up a simple transmitter to send Morse code is a simple matter too. Marconi did it over a century ago, didn't he?
