We report the results of a sensitive survey of planetary nebulae in all four ground state OH lines. Our results confirm that evolved planetary nebulae are not OH sources in general. However, we did detect one interesting object: an OH 1612 MHz maser in the young planetary nebula NGC 6302. This nebula may be in a brief evolutionary stage, similar to the young and compact planetary nebula Vy 2-2 where OH has already been detected.
