Empowering communication when it counts:
Among the first thing to go down in any disaster is cellular networks. This leaves a majority of the population unable to communicate, with family, or with rescue services. One of the few disaster-proof communication methods that remains is amateur radio. Anyone can pass an easy exam and get a FCC license with little effort, but many people don't know where to start, and there are few efficient study materials available.
OpenRadioStudy's goal is to bring emergency communication to the people, by empowering people to get their amateur radio licenses.
What it does:
OpenRadioStudy is designed to help you study for your FCC license exam as efficiently as possible, with a focus on two things:
Exposure and Speed: The exam question pool is fixed. When I took the exam, I found that maximizing exposure to the questions was the best way to study. OpenRadioStudy is designed to expose you to as many questions, as quickly as possible. With no animations, and designed to only need one hand on a keyboard, you can get studying as fast as possible. It's even styled with pure, responsive CSS (no frameworks), so that you can study on any screen.
Controls: W, A, S, D to select an answer, SPACE to review last question.
It's also designed to be open-source extensible. Anyone can submit a PR to add explanation for questions.
How I built it:
Pure, human-written, HTML, CSS, and JS. No AI development engines were used in the creations of this project.
What's next for OpenRadioStudy:
- Smarter question selection
- Stats and leaderboards
