This RF & Microwave themed crossword puzzle for December 5th contains only
clues and words are directly to RF, microwave, and mm-wave engineering, optics,
mathematics, chemistry, physics, and other science 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!
