This is part an answer to a question I was running into, and half a demonstration of some handy free/open-source tools.

The Ham General test asks questions such as this:

What is the minimum wire size that may be safely used for a circuit that draws up to 20 amperes of continuous current?

A. AWG number 16

B. AWG number 12

C. AWG number 8

D. AWG number 20

I used fityk to import the raw table of wire ampacities
