A high-sensitivity search for 18 cm OH emission from Mira variables has resulted in the detection of five previously unknown OH Mira variables (R Tau, RT Aql, RX Tau, FX Mon, and AW Tau). R Tau, RT Aql, and RX Tau are known microwave H2O sources, and RT Aql is also a known SiO source. RX Tau has a visual-light-curve shape slightly different than that of previously discovered OH Miras. The OH properties of AW Tau are very anomalous for the period determined from its visual light curve, but are consistent with a much shorter period for this star. It is possible that the period of AW Tau has decreased by several hundred days in the last 40 years.
