Here is your custom made Electronics Themed crossword puzzle for November 13th,
2022. All RF Cafe crossword puzzles are custom made by me, Kirt Blattenberger, and
have only words and clues related to electronics, electricity, radio, radar, 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
Tunguska
event in Siberia). The technically inclined cruciverbalists amongst us will appreciate
