There is a lot more that comes into consideration than height when
you begin to predict the range and/or coverage. I would suggest that
anybody wanting to make predictions of coverage obtain a copy of
GE's DF-10003-1 "VHF and UHF Propagation". There are a lot of
graphs, but It will help you get within 5 - 10 percent of your
coverage. From a retired engineer, don't forget to include
obstruction losses, buildings, trees, ground metal deposits, etc.

What form is that ? A computer program, charts/nomographs, or a
slide rule device?
If it's not a slide rule, it could go on repeater-builder....
BTW, this may help...

Nate, you will be happy to know that the "obnoxious math or physics
teacher" problem was resolved by the original author.
