5khz listening split is very small for an SSB pileup as most signals
occupy 3kz so a 5khz split allows for little separation.  The European
and Asian pileups at J6 on 12 and 10m were monstrous yet we worked many
stations.  If you have 200 people calling in a 5khz range do you really
expect to get much more than a letter here or there except for the
really loud stations?   When the pileup was huge I would simply turn
down the power and fewer people would call.  Work those off and turn the
power back up and work the next wave.
