This custom RF Cafe electronics-themed crossword puzzle for July 15th 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 "O" is the 15th letter of the alphabet, it is used as
the first and/or last letter of many words in today's crossword puzzle - as well
as in-between. Those clues are marked with an asterisk (*). As always, you will
find no references to numbnut movie stars or fashion designers. Need more crossword
