I believe 5B4AGN is doing this successfully at 1500 watts.
Effective stubs and filters are absolutely required.

His web site does not specifically say how the nine
feedlines from his three c-31xr's are handled, but I
remember from his previous postings that he had successfully
overcome the isolation issues feeding one antenna on two
bands for SO2R. Keep in mind that the bandpass filters need
to be bandswitched to follow the radios, but the stubs do
not need to be switched, since you have access to the three
individual feedlines.
