Finding task forces reported by radio?

[BGrey]

Im trying to find a task force that was reported by subpac (RFB 1.52 & RSRDC).

"INJ Task Group has departed Truk enroute to Rabual. Est position at 1600 7 Jul 42 0136S 14900E. Units operating within striking distance attempt to intercept" (Received 5 Jul)

I happened to be near Rabual upon receiving the message but haven't been able to find the task force. The coordinates are actually past Rabual from Truk (if I read them correctly) and I didn't see a thing in the area at the time the message stated. :cry: What am I doing wrong here?

Try plotting what may be their course from Truk intersecting those coordinates, then set up a small patrol area for yourself and keep a sharp lookout. Remember you may be able to see ships on the horizon before your crew. Good Luck :salute:

Well the thing is the message says they are traveling from truk to rabual and the coordinates are well beyond rabual along that line.

Yep I was defiantly looking in the wrong place :oops: I had the same longitude but somehow was 10 lower. - I see now that I was reading it as 13.6 instead of 1.36

Well I lurked around that position and still didn't see anything :wah:
