A message from Publisher Eric Rhoads
According to Wikipedia, the expression "It ain't over till the fat lady sings" originated with comments about Richard Wagner's Der Ring Des Nibelungen and especially its last part, Gotterdammerung. The fat lady is the Valkyrie Brunhilde, often portrayed as a very buxom lady with a horned helmet, a spear, and a shield. Her final aria lasts almost 10 minutes and marks the end of the cycle of operas.
It's over. The fat lady is singing. Today is the last chance.
When I told the story about why I created the Mighty Red HD Radio, I never anticipated we would sell so many so fast.
We sold out our entire shipment in the first four hours after my e-mail one week ago today. We never anticipated that some people would buy 15 or 20 radios and that the average order would be 2.8 radios.
Because of the demand, we scrambled to get another shipment created. We doubled the size of the shipment this time, and now it's almost sold out. Only 350 radios remain from that shipment, which will be the very last.
No more. The fat lady has sung.
A Crapshoot
When
you create something like this, you never know if the market will like
it or accept it, especially after I've told you about the big booming
HD sound from this little tiny radio you can strap on your arm for $35.
But comments are starting to come in from people who received their
orders from our first shipment.
Eric,
As
promised, my Mighty Red by Eric Rhoads arrived today and within minutes
I was hooked into Supertramp on The Gator. I haven't tried the earbuds
yet, I wanted the full experience and have no problem pushing my big
ol' broadcast cans through a mini adapter. "Goodbye Stranger" never
sounded so good on a device smaller than a pack o' smokes -- especially
since I have trouble getting good reception on standard FM this far
north.
Thanks, Eric, Merry Christmas!

Eric,
I just received my Mighty Red, and it is mighty great!! Easy to use and, as you said, good quality audio.
I salute you for your getting this accomplished. The industry needs to promote this because it is a great advantage to radio listening. I also got one for my son who lives out in Palo Alto, and when I told him about it he had never understood what HD Radio really was, and he is a radio listener. He's coming here next week and I am excited to give him his and show what it can do here in NYC/Long Island.
Eric, thanks for covering radio's back. You are a great asset!!
Happy Holidays,
Jim Champlin
I got my Mighty Red yesterday, charged it and am using it now. You have hit a HOME RUN with this little radio. Way to go, Eric!

Mighty Red. The Little Radio With Booming HD Radio Sound by Eric Rhoads.
Special $35 price.
Once these last 350 are sold, Mighty Red becomes a collector's item.
My goal is for every person working in radio to own and experience HD Radio.
- A great gift for family and friends.
- A great employee gift.
- A great client gift.
The last day we are offering these is at our Forecast Conference in New York on Tuesday. Unless, of course, the remaining 350 sell out today, which is likely.
