If you are using TDWs UI - your number is U21
You can change this in the options.py

If the radio message is blue or red - it is meant for you.

I can perform pure magic with evasion and utter ruthlessness with a torpedo, but for the life of me that darned radio stumped me at times!

Thanks from me too

Blue message is action required (send report etc)
Red is information
