Digital Theme Crossword Puzzle
May 29th, 2022

This custom Digital Engineering themed crossword puzzle for May 29th, 2022, is brought to you by RF Cafe. Clues for words relevant to the theme are marked with asterisks (*). I do believe this is the first digital electronics crossword I have ever made. 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 or the Tunguska event in Siberia). The technically inclined cruciverbalists amongst us will appreciate the effort. Enjoy!
