Paul,
  I'm not real sure.  I got an email from his wife some time back.  She
told me there is a gentleman who is carrying on his work.  I saw one of
them for sale on Ebay at one time.  I had the privilege to spend the day
with him about 5 years ago at his shop. He was a very intelligent man!
He used a modulation scheme that some thought was weird and using tubes,
but it worked and sounded better than most solid state boxes.  Check out

Scott:

I also have a feeling the people getting 5 miles out of his box are
living
in areas with great ground conducitivty.

Are there any James Cunningham transmitters still hanging around?
