RANGE
The range of VHF transmissions depend on antenna height,
transmitter power and the terrain over which the signals
pass. Ship to ship communications should be possible
over at least 8 nautical miles and up to about 27 nautical
miles. Ship to shore ranges will often be greater due to the
increased height of the shore antenna and communications
of 25 to 50 nautical miles are possible.
