Got a response back already.
After the standard (and expected) disclaimer of "I didn't design it for low-VHF or FM..", he emailed me polar plots of the simulations he ran on low-VHF.
As expected, it's pretty low: Computed gain ranges from -22 dBi at 54 MHz to -11 dBi at 88 MHz. He did caution that he never actually tested the antenna on this band so he cautioned that actual results are likely a bit different.
All-in-all, it's pretty unlikely that the C5 would be successful for that part of the suggestion.
