Radar Engineering Crossword Puzzle
March 1, 2015

I stopped creating the RF Cafe engineering and science themed crossword puzzles at the end of January in order to test the interest in them. As of today, on March 1st, I will resume creating them every couple weeks. It takes up to an hour to make each crossword. Enjoy.

I will be glad to create a special edition crossword for your newspaper, newsletter, etc.
