HISTORY OF THE NEEDLEBENDERS CLUB
The World Wide NeedleBenders Club was officially founded in 1973 by the COAX KIDD out of California.
The COAX KIDD started a club that consisted of only the elite operators and big strappers. They were chosen from the competition with other radio clubs in existence at that time. THE BULL SHIPPERS, THE TRUCKER TUCKER CLUB and THE VIOLATORS.
