You can indeed have your Radio Operator report nearby radio contacts. This can be useful for finding ships and convoys by use of radio direction finding.

It's especially useful for getting an approximate indication of what course to steer when your current hunting grounds have come up empty.

So now you know there's more ways to hunt than just lookouts, hydrophone, radar, and sonar.

Be careful to evaluate what your radioman is reporting before you go dashing off. He'll report any received transmissions, including those from land-based stations, aircraft, and warships...enemy, neutral, or friendly alike.
