Milch cows and supply ships in particular suffered terribly because of this issue.
I'm wondering if the game handles this situation or not. I always feel that I should send a quick message every few days so Bdu knows where I am. Since the game doesn't include the ability to manually send these'bursts' doesn't necessarily mean that the AI doesn't include them. Alternatively, are the messages I send meant to portray these 'bursts'? I'm wondering if the game assumes that Bdu already knows where I am and the messages I'm sending are superfluous.
Does any of this affect gameplay?

If you are referring to the Kurier burst system it came late in the war and saw limited use. Previous radio traffic would be conventional in duration, though codes etc. were eventually used to cut down transmission time.
