OK, not a pirate station, but a very special transmission, from hobbyists !

And do you know that the former owner of Radio Andorre was DEATH sentenced by France ?
Because he did not wanted to be controlled by French authorities. DEATH sentence was meaning the seizure of all his properties, and the station was already resold before the sentence! But he escaped the sentence (and the beards trying to kidnap him in Spain).

While the guillotine was dusting, the French authorities settled the competing Radio des Vallées d'Andorre (later renamed Sud- Radio), also with transmitting station in Andorra. Radio was a public monopoly in France, with only the RTF (later renamed ORTF) allowed to broadcast in France. Sud-Radio was at 99% owned by another French public body, the Sofirad. So having failed to guillotine the owner, they tried to strangle the incomes of Radio Andorre.

This is not pirate.
This is over the transmitter in Moosbrunn / Austria
