You need a VHF radio antenna, a VHF radio receiver and of course a station broadcasting on the VHF frequency.
The PRC77 radio operates on 30.000 to 75.95 MHz. If the Harris radio operates on any of the same frequencies (I know you said it's VHF, but VHF covers 30 to 300 MHz), then it can.
VHF is in the range 30 to 300 MHz.
Because VHF signals have a line of sight limitation.

Very High Frequency.
After World War II, the FM radio broadcast was introduced in Germany. In 1948, a new wavelength plan was set up for Europe at a meeting in Copenhagen. Because of the recent war, Germany (which did not exist as a state and so was not invited) was only given a small number of medium-wave frequencies, which are not very good for broadcasting. For this reason Germany began broadcasting on UKW ("Ultrakurzwelle", i.e. ultra short wave, nowadays called VHF) which was not covered by the Copenhagen plan. After some amplitude modulation experience with VHF, it was realized that FM radio was a much better alternative for VHF radio than AM. Because of this history FM Radio is still referred to as "UKW Radio" in Germany. Other European nations followed a bit later, when the superior sound quality of FM and the ability to run many more local stations because of the more limited range of VHF broadcasts were realized. try Google or wikipedia sometime.
