"makes me think I smell a rat. Can you say "freeband"?"
What makes Jack a rat. Because he is uneducated about antenna design or you think he is a freebander. I agree a licensed ham should know the answer to the question asked. I personally would use two different antenna since the bands are so far apart. A nice 10meter verticle or beam and a dual bander VHF/UHF is the way I'd go. Freebanders are radio enthusiest also, they just go about things a little different than what you consider normal. So its illegal to operate there, so is throwing cigaret butts out the car window and talking on the cell phone while driving, people do it eveyday.
