With gooles of microwave tramission occuring on or by Earth validity of radio telescopes can be suspect, so lets build large one on the moon.

NASA and astronomers would love to do that and have talked about it for decades. Now all we need is a few hundred billion dollars to blow on the project.

We don't let people transmit in the frequencies that radio astronomy uses for just that reason. And it's easy to see when your signal has been corrupted by another source. Putting one on the Moon is most likely still too close. Besides, the atmosphere of the Earth lets pretty much all radio signals through. If we're putting a telescope on the Moon, it would be MUCH more useful to put an optical or ultraviolet scope there, because that's what has trouble getting through the atmosphere here.

NASA's planning another expensive mission to the moon, and i believe they came up with a list of 200something reasons why we should go back. i think your right in saying that we should build one there,. less interference
