It's an optical Line-Of-Site formula with 15% Over-The-Horizon factor added used for Two-Way radio calculations.  As I said it's only a rough estimate.  It would take an extensive propagation program to provide a more accurate answer.  As to where it originated:  In Antenna Theory 101 in Engineering school.  You can also Google the formula.
