I believe he's talking about the "Contact Report: Enemy Task Force, 25N 32' x 142E 12', traveling West, Slow speed". Which is controlled in the Campaign files. Each RGG (Random Generated Group) and scheduled group, along with all of the individual "Units" have "ReportPosMin=" and "ReportPosProbability=" lines in the Campaign and other MIS files. If "ReportPosMin=" is a negative number, then the group will not report, but any positive number means it will report in, as a Contact Report, after the number of minutes listed there, based upon the "Probability" percentage of the next line (0-100). Stock does the most reporting, TMO probably the least. RSRDC on top of TMO might give you a few more, but I do not remember... We have some set to report in FotRSU, and will be adding more to the Campaign, to simulate the "Ultra" messages skippers received. It is NOT an easy mod to do though, since there are probably over 2500 groups (easily) in Fall of the Rising Sun Ultimate, with most other mods generally not too far behind in number, except RSRDC, which tries to emulate "historic" traffic levels, and naturally has less...
