Great... just the sort of answer I can use !
I was hoping for a groundswell of information on it... so I could be the
best informed guy next year... I will have to Google and read my
Antenna Book and ARRL Handbook and study up on it. The K3 guys point
to us TT guys, and say our rigs are bothering their rigs, so it we are
the problem, but I don't think so - but cannot yet explain who is the
problem or if nobody is, and will need a solution regardless of who gets
the blame. (Man... I do NOT want to get into a brand war over it...)

Lowering the contest power to 100 watts greatly mitigates possible inter

We used double shielded coax this year which allowed 3 100 watt
stations to have 3 coaxes run together to exit the room at the same
window. I did not expect it to help all that much and was using it for
the pre made lengths of it I had. Only if the 20m phone station got
very low in the phone band did the nearby CW station seem to desense the
receiver. That was a simple QSY to fix. No band pass filters were
used. Antennas were a vertical against a inverted vee about 125 feet apart.
I am certainly glad I had the chance to use double shielded coax.
The vertical had a tuner at the antenna with remote cable control, and
the doublet had a coax choke at its feedpoint, of RG8x
