Correction: *Could* work. You're talking about 90 miles. Someone else 
mentioned a distant site where it only worked reliably in winter. This is because in 
the warmer weather, the atmosphere is much more active, and there are "layers" 
of differing temperatures and humidity levels. These will all wreak havoc 
with VHF. 

You also will have the flutter effect caused by all types of aircraft within 
range... and at 90 miles spacing, that's a LOT of room for a LOT of aircraft!
