What is the frequency range for VHF communications typically involving amateur radio?

The frequency range for VHF (Very High Frequency) communications is typically considered to be from 30 MHz to 300 MHz. This range is particularly suitable for various forms of communication including amateur radio operations. VHF frequencies are favored for line-of-sight communications, which make them effective for local communications, as they generally provide greater range and clarity than lower frequencies due to reduced atmospheric noise.

The other provided ranges do not conform to the VHF designation. The range from 1 MHz to 30 MHz relates to the HF (High Frequency) band, which is used for different types of communications, including long-distance communication. The 300 MHz to 3 GHz range falls under UHF (Ultra High Frequency) and encompasses other applications like television broadcasting and mobile communications. Lastly, the 3 kHz to 30 kHz range is part of the LF (Low Frequency) band, which is generally not used for typical amateur radio communications. Thus, the designation of 30 MHz to 300 MHz correctly identifies the VHF band used in amateur radio.
