Two Problems

Hi guys!

Problem 1. The radio messages are not appearing on the message pad. The Morse code happens, the radio operator advises of the messages but after hitting "M," the page is blank.

I do have all the radio messages from GW in a Word document, in chronological order, so that I don't miss any as I keep FTB's (Radio Logs), as well as KTB's, for my patrols. It is simply a matter of noting the time the message is received and comparing it to the times of transmission of messages for that day.

Problem 2. In a Type II she was down to 50% fuel as I left Skagerrak heading towards Scotland on a new patrol. Had to divert to Wilhelmshaven. Travel had been at a speed on the surface of 10 kts.

Will she get a fuel reload there so that I can resume the patrol? I put the problem down to a ruptured fuel tank and the subsequent trail of oil leaving the boat as un-stealthy as the Titanic.

Any help would be appreciated.
