I'm working on a radio project this week where a VHF handheld inside a building can't communicate with another outside 1/4 mile away. For this temporary job we had to use a 25w base station with a base antenna in the building but close to a window to get reliable comms just 1/4mi away. Otherwise I've done well over 150mi hand held to hand held simplex between two mountain tops.
