If you can you can create a radio message for that day given you the information that convoy x will be moving from x,y to destination z,a (you can give wrong z,a coordinates).
The german radio log has enigma crypted messages which you can decrypt. They will inform you that the fleet is in Scapa Flow. This way the radio messages can serve as an important additional information especially for a mod like Real Uboat.
Oh, If you want a message to be sent at a specific time - yeah, thats doable. Problem is that if you want to add in the slightest amount of randomness - which I think is healthy for historical ops in the game - they are not going to be synchronised. So yoould end up getting a message long after or before the vent takes place. (which might be kind of cool in its own way.)


Also, if the convoy has any variation in the waypoints the info will be wrong, obviously. But, yeah, it could be done.
