I'm assuming that the frequency chosen might have a slight effect on
the range, but with 75 watts screaming from my mobile, what is the
potential range with a clear line of sight? Can anyone approximate at
all? There's repeaters galore here, but I am quite interested in
simplex operations away from the great Dell of loomis.

Any info greatly appreciated. You're a great group.

It will depend primarily on the antenna height of the receiving station.
Power is only a secondary element. While it tends to make a difference
between scratchy copy and clear copy, the antennas are far more important.
Afterall the Mars rover is only putting out 15watts.
