In line-of-sight communication airborne elements such as rain, fog and snow can all affect communication quality. Of these weather conditions, rain has the greatest effect on VHF data transmission .

How can I expand the range?
Read moreWhat factor affects the effectiveness of VHF communication?
A longer wavelength , which corresponds to a lower frequency, as a general rule lets a radio signal travel a greater distance. Lower frequencies or longer wavelengths also have greater penetrating power.10 Eki 2016
Read moreWhat 5 factors that could affect the range of radio equipment?
Key Points. The key factors affecting communication range are: antenna, obstructions, signal strength (wattage), and signal type .
Read moreWhich propagation wave provides the best communication in the VHF band?
Space wave propagation mode is used for the transmission of VHF and UHF because UHF and VHF can neither be propagated through Ground waves (due to high absorption in the atmosphere) nor via Sky waves (due to non reflection of the ionosphere).
Read moreWhat wave is used for VHF?
VHF, in full very high frequency, conventionally defined portion of the electromagnetic spectrum including any radiation with a wavelength between 1 and 10 metres and a frequency between 300 and 30 megahertz . VHF signals are widely employed for television and radio transmissions.
Read moreIs VHF a radio wave?
VHF includes radio waves from 30 MHz to 300 MHz . VHF waves must not exceed the local radio horizon of 100 miles. VHF frequencies are less likely to be interrupted by atmospheric noise, issues with electrical equipment, and other interferences.21 Eyl 2015
