This week's crossword puzzle for November 12th sports an electronics theme. This
being the twelfth day of the month, many of the words begin and/or end with and/or
contain the letter "L" (denoted by 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 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,
Hedy Lamarr, or
the
Tunguska event in Siberia). The technically inclined
cruciverbalists amongst us will appreciate the effort.
Enjoy!
