Thank you for your reply Bob,

Did not see anything relating to this in aprs11.html nor in aprs12.html. 
Here is the closest it get in aprs11/spex-wx.txt:

  s = sustained one-minute wind speed in mph. <in positionless format only>

but nothing about the speed unit in DIR/SPD.

Will you make sure that it gets in the right place or do I have something 
to do myself about it?
