VE1BLL, the path loss is correct, there's just a typo in the calculation. It should look like this:
Path loss (free space) = 20*log(433)+20*log(180)-28 = 69 dB
Yes, the Tx power and Rx sensitivity should be in dBm (not dB).

Hi,
I'm designing a simple 433 MHz radio link to transmit some low rate measurement data from a bridge/quay to a building nearby. I need some help estimating if I will get a reliable communication.
Please have a look at this page (a draft of the surroundings)...
