[Elecraft] K2 and Field Day Ops

As a newbie Field Day coordinator for our Lake Tahoe club, I'm thinking 
about using my K2/100 (3256) as one of the Field Day stations. My 
thought were to use my K2 as a 20 meter CW station and one of the Club 
radios on 20 meter SSB. However, I've been cautioned by some club 
veterans that it won't work to have a 20 meter CW station working at 
the same site as 20 meter SSB station--they will just interfere with 
each other. I think I've read on this reflector about the excellence of 
the K2 in working in strong signal environments so wanted a second 
opinion. What problems will I be creating trying to run a K2/100 and a 
brand X together on 20 mtrs one using a Yagi and one using a dipole? If 
there are problems, what might be the solution?  Hope this isn't too 
dumb of question.
