This week's Wireless Engineering crossword puzzle contains the usual collection
of science, math, and engineering terms. Also included are a couple topics that
have been in the technical news headlines lately and the names of two new companies
advertising on RF Cafe (clues labeled with asterisk *). 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!
