106. VDF range depends on…
Answer
Aircraft altitude
Explanation
VHF propagation is primarily line-of-sight, so greater aircraft altitude generally increases the radio horizon and potential range. **Key takeaway:** VHF/VDF range is affected by antenna height. **Glossary:** Radio horizon: maximum line-of-sight distance over Earth's curvature.
