Any suggestions other than taking my radioman off duty for the remainder of the patrol? I'd rather not resort to that for realism purposes but if needs must....

Right at the start of things there are a lot of messages, even with the mod installed. If you're running in TC it can seem like every couple of seconds you're getting more orders about who's declaring war and who you can attack and who to leave alone and reminders about the Prize Rules and whatnot.

It does get better once the craziness of the first few days/weeks of the war are over and the "state of things" is more or less settled and a status quo is established.

If it really bothers you, you can always take the crewman out of the radio compartment, you won't get new message alerts. If you've played through those days before and aren't worried about missing something of dire importance that you didn't already know was coming anyway, it's not a bad idea. It's not like you *need* a radio message to know that you'll be at war with Poland on the 1st and England on the 3rd, lol.
