No such constant number. It highly depends on - elevation of the ground station - height above ground of the aircraft - terrain IIRC there is a rough approximation for the range of a VOR: range in NM equals 1.2 times sqrt( altitude in feet) That leads to 50 NM at 2000ft 75 NM at 4000ft 120 NM at FL100 170 NM at FL 200
I live some 10 NM from EDDH with nearly undisturbed line of sight and the tower is barely receivable with an icom handheld. So I think starting with a range of 10 NM on ground is reasonable.
