Mid Downs Radio 1350 LPAM 1 watt from UK (QSL in 1 day) and TWR Africa 1476 testing? - MW log in Bocca di Magra

Strange but nice propagation on MW in these days. From Bocca di Magra I could listen my first LPAM 1 watt from England: Mid-Downs Radio (Thanks to Stephen Howie (BDXC) that listened to my clip). This radio confirmed in one day by mail sent to chairman-at-mdr.org.uk, vs Cathy Barnett, MDR Chair.

Then I could listen also to TWR Africa, via Benin on 1476 kHz, with a strong signal. Transmission aimed to Nigeria, often mentioned, in African language. It is not scheduled, so I think it may be a test, like in 2019.
