Kamina Funkstation, Togo
Kamina Tranmitter
Kamina Funkstation was a shortwave radio transmitter in the German-occupied colony of Togoland (now Togo) in West Africa.
It is located near the village of Kamina, in Togo. The nearest large settlement was Atakpamé. The station was built by the German company Telefunken, on behalf of the German government from 1911 to 1914. It was designed as a node and switching point for other German colonial radio stations. Shortly after the beginning of World War I in Togo, it was destroyed by the operators, in order to avoid it falling into enemy hands.
