As one of the ops at W3LPL we do it 24/7 in all the contests as we have two rigs and two ops on all bands. When one guys is CQing the other is listening to other parts of the band.

I'm planning to put RX coax runs in one of the conduits, TX runs (Heliax) in two of the others and control cable in the 4th run. So RX runs will at best be 4-20 RG6 cable diameters from the Heliax. Does that sound like enough separation from your experience?
