Artsci takes into account
To properly estimate a signals range, you must have a few important figures:
-- Frequency / Band
-- Transmitter power (in watts)
-- Antenna height (from sea level)
-- Antenna gain (net after coax loss)

And that is what the original poster asked for (I thought)

See the 19th edition of the "ARRL Antenna Book" pages 23.5 and 23.6.

Eqn. 3:

Dmiles = 1.415 sq rt Hfeet

This can be rewritten:
D = sq rt 2H

Wasn`t it Albert Einstein who wrote something like: "Don`t make things
any more complicated than necessary?"

Solutions to Eqn 3 are plotted in Fig 6.

Example: 20 ft gives 6 miles. The approximate sq rt of 40 is 6 miles.

Example: 50 ft gives 10 miles. The approximate sq rt of 100 is 10 miles.

Example: 200 Ft gives 20 miles. The approximate sq rt of 400 is 20
miles.

Etc., etc., etc..
