We have measured the absolute positions of five OH maser sources associated with HII regions, using the Jodrell Bank phase compensated radio linked interferometer (Norris, Booth & Davis, 1980); these are reproduced in Table 1. In addition, we have mapped the relative positions of the features in the OH spectra at 1665 MHz for all of the sources and at 1667 MHz for 3 of them (W30H, NGC 7538 and W49). We are now able to compare the distribution of the OH masers in a given source with its radio continuum map and to investigate the proximity of masers in the 2 main line transitions and the H2O masers.
