Confused with radio direction finder...

ok i think then the purpose of all this is to narrow down which of the contacts is indeed Z18?

What does it mean to "calculate the range of bearings"? I can draw lines @ bearings sure, but im a little confused about the rest there.

also, unrelated, is there a way to lower the periscope or is it fixed for a reason?

Sorry im dense. Used to silent hunter where crew does everything for you.

Happy holidays.
