Abstract :
In the random radio puzzle, imagine an early "ham" trying to assemble an oscillatory RLC circuit by randomly grabbing a resistor, a capacitor, and an inductor out of separate boxes filled respectively with resistors, capacitors, and inductors of various values. The problem of providing a solution for the probability that the resulting circuit will oscillate is presented in the paper.
