Here is the first custom RF Cafe Crossword Puzzle for 2022, this one having a
wireless engineering theme. Let us hope it is a good year for all except those in
power who strive to make our lives miserable with attempts to restrict and/or deny
our human rights and freedoms. 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 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!
