Hipper, Beatty, and the communications paradox

In the 1915 battle, Franz von Hipper could communicate coherently while David Beatty struggled with command difficulties. Frequent German wireless traffic could be a strategic liability because it helped reveal a force's location. Once fleets were already in visual contact, however, clear communication became an advantage rather than a concealment problem. Hipper appears to have communicated least when tactical coordination mattered most.
