When I get to the patrol point, I draw my 50nm radius circle and then plot an alternating point hex pattern for patrol.

I radio in my update then start my patrol. Usually it takes 2 full trips around the circle to make the fullfillment of time required to patrol the area. Then I scoot back to the center and radio in my update and usually the star greys out. I run my patrol at 2/3rds.

I usually cross up with one or two contacts in that situation.
