Ludwig,
       If you are looking for some universal radiation resistance that 
is fixed once R,L and C are specified, there is none!  The radiation 
resistance (and the fraction of starting energy that is radiated) are 
determined by how good an antenna your circuit is!  This depends on the 
geometry; bending a wire will change it!
