This week brings a new byline to the ARRL Crossword Puzzle. Chris Codella W2PA contributed this very nice symmetric puzzle with Propagation as its theme. With the solar disc having been unblemished for basically an entire rotation, this may be as close as we get to a sunspot for a while! Chris mixes in a wide variety of words so this is a nice change of pace for our faithful puzzlologists. Thanks, Chris!
