How does VHF propagation?

The primary mode of propagation for VHF radio waves is through direct waves . These travel in a straight line, becoming weaker as distance increases. Transmitting and receiving antennas must be able to ‘see’ each other for communications to be effective, so antenna height is critical in determining range.

How does the frequency spectrum work?

How radio frequency works. Radio frequency is measured in units called hertz (Hz), which represent the number of cycles per second when a radio wave is transmitted . One hertz equals one cycle per second; radio waves range from thousands (kilohertz) to millions (megahertz) to billions (gigahertz) of cycles per second.
