Radar Line of Sight Range

@Staggerwing you asked "what would be the range if the aircraft remained at a FL greater than FL200?"

Not sure of ship dimensions, so based on a guess, radar antenna 20m high, the line of sight range to a target at FL200 would be about 184 NM. An antenna 10m higher only adds 2 NM.
