This is a series of 7 caches dedicated to an Amateur Radio net called The Breakfast Club, “Where old timers are not forgotten, and newcomers are always welcome!” The net meets every morning, 365 days a year, on 80 meters at 3.973 MHz. Check-ins are whenever you turn your radio on, and the net runs from 4 AM to 8 AM Central Time, with a change of net control generally every hour.
It's a great group of hams, and Breakfast Club has been around since January 1, 1958. The only requirement for actual membership is 10 check-ins...and they don't have to be consecutive. The net has members from all over the Midwest, from South Dakota to Tennessee and beyond. The Breakfast Club started as a shoutout to Don McNeill's Breakfast Club, the first and longest-running radio variety show, based in Chicago and broadcast on WGN. Don McNeill was an honorary member of “our” Breakfast Club, something he was pleased to accept.
There is a weekend-long picnic gathering; for the last several years it's been held here in the Hannibal area where we have several members. It's a fun “meet 'n' greet”! This year, 2013, it's being held on the weekend of July 12 – 14.

You HAVE read the books that this town is famous for, right? That will help you find the general location of this cache, but more modern thinking will be required to recognize the container. BYOP once again, and be careful of muggles.
