From our single-dish and interferometric observations, we find that the measured RRLs show extremely broad asymmetric line profiles with zero-intensity linewidths of ~1100 kms-1. From the linewidths, we estimate a terminal velocity for the ionized gas in the jet of >500 kms-1, consistent with that obtained from the proper motions of the HW2 radio jet.
