Abstract: Recent 7 mm observations of the W49A North massive star-forming region have detected radio recombination line (RRL) emission from ultracompact HII regions on 50 milliarcsecond scales. These observations, combined with multifrequency, high-resolution continuum imaging of the region at 7 mm with the VLA and at 3 mm with BIMA, indicate that several of the sources have both broad RRLs and rising spectra with indices (alpha) ranging from 0.8 to 1.1 between 3.6 cm and 3 mm. We propose, based on line and continuum observations as well as source morphology, that in a number of sources we may be observing ionized winds that arise from circumstellar disks.
