With few exceptions, I, RF Cafe webmaster Kirt Blattenberger,
have for more than two decades designed a custom crossword puzzle every week for the benefit of website visitors. This Electrical Engineering
Theme Crossword Puzzle was created for July 10th, 2022. All crossword puzzles
use a personally built dictionary of thousands of words and clues related to RF,
microwave, and mm-wave engineering, optics, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and
other technical subjects. As always, this crossword puzzle 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!
