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.
