Ham Radio Theme Crossword Puzzle
September
18th, 2022
|
|
This September 18th custom made crossword puzzle has an Amateur Radio (aka Ham
Radio) theme, compliments of RF Cafe. Clues specifically related to the Ham
Radio theme are marked with an asterisk (*). All RF Cafe crossword puzzles
are custom made by me, Kirt Blattenberger, and have only 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!
