Spread out more. We often jam ourselves into a few kHz, when we have the 
entire RTTY sub band available. As long as you find a clear frequency in 
the sub band, you have every right to use it.

Keep in mind the four main advantages you would be gaining:

1. No interference from jammers on the DX frequency.
2. No interference for non-split lids on the DX frequency. In fact, just 
the opposite: They free up a slot for the calling stations and bother no 
one but other non-split lids.
3. No more Kops with their UP UP UP (often with obscenities) and no more 
lids telling the Kops where to go etc, etc.
4. You don't need to work split. Simplex is all you need. Even ancient 
rigs with only one VFO can do just fine.

I think it's worth a try.
