I find that just 20 or 30 Hz off zero beat allows me to pick out one
signal, so that's all I shift the XIT when I'm calling. That way I can
be pretty sure I'm still in the receiver passband.

What Bill said. The XIT is your best weapon for busting nasty (any)
pileups. 300 Hz above or below will help you stand out compared to the
continuous tone of the guys who tune well or click on spots. I used the
XIT a lot this past weekend~!

After listening to howling pileups all weekend, I have a tip for some of
the less experienced guys.
When 5, 10 or 15 guys are all calling on the same freq, especially with
AGC on it sounds like one tone with QSB. Unless you have a huge signal
you sound like part of the single tone. Do yourself a favor and go up or
down a bit and call. You would not believe how many of the lesser
signals
