Radar & Radio Engineering Crossword Puzzle
November 1, 2015

It's confession time. While it is true that all of the RF Cafe crossword puzzles contain only words, abbreviations, and phrases that pertain to topics in engineering, radar, radio, science, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, etc., the actual title of the puzzle is made up mainly to look attractive to search engines. There are puzzles, however, with titles like "Famous Scientists" where I do go through and specifically fit in names of people like DeForest, Einstein, Edison, Bell, et al. This crossword falls into the former category.

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

acr. = acronym, abbr. = abbreviation, pl. = plural, wds. = words
