VLBI synthesis observations of the 2Π1/2, J = 1/2 excited-state of OH at 6.3 cm (ΔF = 1–0 = 4765.562 MHz) have been made towards four compact HII regions. Detailed maps have been produced for W3(OH) where three groups of sources are distributed over a region ∼ 0.01 pc in size. The brightest sources are shown to be saturated masers with TB ≳ 109 K. In ONl a weak feature gives fringes with a ∼ 0.05″ lobe spacing.
