A comparison between the observed periodic flaring of methanol maser sources in the star forming region G9.62+0.20E and the continuum emission from parts of a background HII region is made. Using a colliding wind binary (CWB) model preliminary calculations show that the CWB model results fit the maser light curves very well.
