[FISTS] W1AW Question

Wed, 6 Mar 2002 17:11:56 -0800

I interpreted the original question differently.

At each speed change they announce the next speed and I thought the
questioner was asking at what speed is that announcment. I recall that the
speed announcement was at the same speed as the next segment.
