I shall get out my loop and take a bearing but it's extremely weak here.
If it's a Navy station in Spain I would have expected a far stronger signal.
Also, not aware of any LF sites in NW Spain. The only US Navy tx site
near you is Rota (Cadiz) but I don't think it does LF.

Have moved it to 135 920 but it will be a miracle if you hear it. Only 500 
mW into
ant so probably only a few puny microwatts radiated.
