This sounds like LORAN (aka Galloping Horses) on 100 kHz. It does spread
(legally - G3JKV? has had it checked). 

There are two or three tranmsitters in NW Europe, incdluing one at Lessay, on
the French channel coast.

LORAN  is a problem on 136, and on 88 (cave radio).  Members of the BCRA
Cave Radio and Electronics Group are looking actively for a solution (the
problem is someiimes known from the French description of the problem as
'Shaving the Horses Moustache').
