I own a radio station in Victoria, Texas--KTXN-FM 98.7/////

The answer to your question is:
distance (miles) = square root of height transmitter in feet times 1.23 how far one can cee..

distance (miles) = square root of height of transmitter in feet and square root of square root of receiver times 1.23

To find radio horizon substitute 1.41 in each of above equations.
