I know that "short" and "low band" are oxymorons when it comes to antennas, but sometimes you have to do what you have to do.... 
I know I'm not going to get gangbusters low band coverage with a short antenna but maybe some of you have some good field experience with the following - does anybody have any experience with either of these two antennas:
Comtelco PEXW30 (broadband, 30-90MHz)
Comtelco PEXL42
They are featured here:
Comtelco Portable Rubber Duck Antenna Information Page 1
My main coverage area would be 42MHz (CHP) when I'm traveling to CA, and 46MHz (local NY fire dispatch).
Thanks for any help!
