For VHF/UHF omnidirectional use a discone would be a practical
solution.
I use those at my shop. Makes not having to remember what band
antenna I'm using.
50-500 MHz is easily possible but I would rather go for 140-500
and put 50 MHz on a separate vertical to reduce wind loading.
Most discones, as sold, are basically 100-1300 MHz.
The extended lower frequency is usually a whip mounted on top for
either 52 MHz or 27 MHz depending on who you buy them from.
