The main topic of this paper is the radio art of Japanese artist and theoretician Tetsuo Kogawa. Kogawa's use of miniature VHF FM transmitters, with range just about few hundred meters, created an idiosyncratic alternative to mainstream radio broadcasting. After the mass expansion of the Internet, Japanese scene of pirate microtransmitters nearly disappeared. Can similar activity make sense even today?
