We mapped the distribution of 6 cm H2CO (110→111) absorption against the HII regions DR21 and W58 with an angular resolution of 6″8 (RA) and a velocity resolution of 0.73 km s-1. The Westerbork SRT was used with the newly completed 5120 channel digital line receiver. With all 14 telescopes, a maximum baseline of 1440 m, both linear polarizations and a bandwidth per channel of 10 kHz the rms noise in the channel maps was about 7 K. The goal of this work is to measure scale sizes of H2CO in molecular clouds near HII regions and to study the kinematics of the clouds in the molecular line.
