The Williamsburg Area ARC ran two K3s on a pair of 40, 20, 10 meter fan-dipoles at about 50-60 feet and mostly on same band. We had no noticeable interference either way at 100 watts. We used only the filtering built in the radio. CW radio used a 200 hertz filter and the phone station used the 2.8 and DSP.
On 80 meters the phone station used 1/4 wave wire vertical (top at around 80 ft) with two 1/4 wave elevated radials and CW used a full wave horizontal loop at about 40 ft. Again no noticeable interference on same band.
