I know it,
I was just asking if you made sure that the particular convoys reported through radio messages system are actually featured in game, since a mismatch would lead players to get confused, as it was the case with the Bismarck reports.

This way it will change each time you play.
Common convoy reports have this format:

1940.01.05:||Convoy SLF.15 Departed Freetown for Liverpool January 19, 1940.|Estimate 8 Vessels light escort.

As you can see, except for outbound and inbound ports, no mention is made about convoy routes.
The information provided is:

- name of the convoy
- departure time and place
- destination
- expected arrival date*
- number of merchant vessels*
- extent and type of escorts*

* information marked with asterisks is not always provided

I didn't check it personally, but I think that these reports are based on historical convoys.
