very high frequency

very high frequency
The range of radio frequencies between 30 and 300 MHz. Portions of this band, 108 to 118 MHz, are used for certain NAVAIDs (navigational aids); 118 to 136 MHz are used for civil air-to-ground voice communications. Other frequencies in this band are used for purposes not related to air traffic control. Very high frequencies are line-of-sight frequencies with practically no ground-wave element. The VHF range increases with height. The maximum ranges for voice communication are about 185 miles (300 km). Communication systems operating VHF bands provide high-quality communications between aircraft and ground stations. In spite of being line-of-sight communication, long-range communications using VHF are possible through repeater stations and satellite links.
Typical line-of-sight distances for VHF reception.
