With few exceptions, I, RF Cafe webmaster Kirt Blattenberger, have for more than
two decades designed a custom crossword puzzle every week for the benefit of website
visitors. This Electronics Theme Crossword Puzzle for was created for June 19th,
2022. All crossword puzzles use a personally built dictionary of thousands of words
and clues related to RF, microwave, and mm-wave engineering, optics, mathematics,
chemistry, physics, and other technical subjects. As always, this crossword puzzle
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
Tunguska
event in Siberia). The technically inclined cruciverbalists amongst us will appreciate
the effort. Enjoy!
