Jim with your knowledge, a trip to the next hamfest would cure the Advanced
license. Just take the time. Do a couple practice runs on one of the
computer sites to see what the subject matter is and you are off and
running.
As for 3 QSOs on 80, 85, and 90, sadly is ain't gonna happen. Where I live
the signals emitted by some stations are very strong. This morning was a
case in point. one on 3.880 and another on 85. The 85 bunch, I think, was
the 0s who get on in the morning but without some closer stations or
stronger signals, I couldn't tell.
I like to talk among groups from time to time and urge everyone to establish
a different frequency. Say the 1s near 3.8, the 2s near 3.815, etc. With
different operating schedules no particular portion of the band would be
occupied all the time. And it would give us the opportunity to move between
groups with out undue interference.
Just some thoughts.

I have been reading the traffic here with heightened interest. For me the
existing 80M AM window is fine so long as:
1.) We invite the 3878 quacks to QSY down 100KC or so
2.) The SSB stations on 3880, 3883, 3885, 3888, 3890, and 3893 all find
another rock to hide under.
If this is done, we have room for 2-3 AM QSO's at the same time, and no
need for razor sharp filters, etc. to reject the QRM.
I guess I'm easy to please! This will never happen! :-)
I like the suggestions given already of establishing a AM net at the
bottom end of the Advanced portion, say 3705. I do not hold an extra
ticket...
