45 or so. Whip is under two feet, I believe.



Okay, let's give the benefit of the doubt and assume a nominal height of 50
feet for each antenna...

What is the line of sight distance between the two antennae?

It looks like you're using a height of 46 feet and a coefficient of 1.22. This is the
correct answer to the problem, not that its particularly relevent to how for Boobie could
transmit. However, its the Radio line of sight, not the Visual.

Distance to the visual horizon uses a coeficient of 1.17.
