This electronics-themed
crossword puzzle was published in the August 1962 issue of Electronic World.
Crosswords were a fairly standard feature in magazines up through the late last
century. Keeping with tradition , every week (usually) I create an engineering-themed
crossword puzzle that uses a hand-selected collection of a couple thousand words
and clues from a dictionary I built over the last 20 years. Unlike most crosswords
seen in technical and hobby publications,
RF Cafe crosswords contain only relevant words - never filling in with the names
of movie stars, obscure countries, or portmanteaus relating to social oddities.
