I have early FM (42-50mc) on two consoles, both Stromberg-Carlson. Id rather trust a Zenith to pick up anything that's on that band today. Assuming a balanced 300 ohm line, the antenna would be a huge dipole, like 10 feet.

From DXing.com "30 to 50 MHz: This is known as the "VHF low" band. Most transmissions will be in narrow band FM with channels spaced at 20 kHz intervals. A wide variety of stations can be heard on this range, including businesses, federal, state, and local governments, law enforcement agencies, and various industrial radio services."
