[50mhz] 6m Point-to-Point Distances?

[Chris Boone]

In a simple way, not really.....terrain and power, type of antennas, noise level, etc all factor in.
LOS can be calculated. Free-space path loss is proportional to the square of the distance between the transmitter and receiver, and also proportional to the square of the frequency of the radio signal. BUT again, if one end is next to a high noise level source and its receiver does not have a noise blanker or adequate one, range can be severely limited.

Hard to place typical range...you can predict how far a signal from a certain HAAT and ERP will travel...but on the rcv end, variables muck it up and make nothing "typical".

The OLD joke lowband 'rule of thumb' was 100 ft + 100 watts = 100 miles. I never found that to be true even 50% of the time
