To define an altitude that ensures navaid reception between those two

MOCAs don't ensure navaid reception.


It does within 22 miles of a VOR, and since I don't have the charts in front
of me (I'm on the West Coast) I was just making a suggestion - I don't know
how far the relavent VORs are - that's why I phrased my answer as a
