This custom RF Cafe electronics-themed crossword puzzle for June 25th contains
words and clues which pertain exclusively to the subjects of electronics, science,
physics, mechanics, engineering, power distribution, astronomy, chemistry, etc.
If you do see names of people or places, they are intimately related to the aforementioned
areas of study. Being that "B" is the 2nd letter (25 mod 23) of the alphabet, it
is used as the first and/or last letter (or even in-between) of many words in today's
crossword puzzle. Those clues are marked with an asterisk (*). As always, you will
find no references to numbnut movie stars or fashion designers. Need more crossword
