This engineering crossword puzzle for November 7th has no fewer than 8 words
and clues naming the title of this website. Otherwise, all other clues and words
are related directly to RF, microwave, and mm-wave engineering, optics, mathematics,
chemistry, physics, and other technical subjects. As always, this crossword contains
no names of politicians, mountain ranges, exotic foods or plants, movie stars, or
anything of the sort unless it/he/she is related to this puzzle's technology theme
(e.g.,
Reginald Denny or the
