Like Jim, the WVARA field day operation runs multiple K3s on the 
same band. We often have a SSB, CW and digital station all on 
the same band. Two important differences:

  We run QRP.
  We often run several bands on the same antenna with a splitter.

As far as I know, you need separate antennas for each radio. You 
might be able to use the same antenna if you had 120+db filters 
ala VHF/UHF repeaters.
