There actually has been some talk of converting a small crate on the far side of the moon into an Arecibo type radio telescope. It would be largely free of earthly interference.

Hi. It might be possible to use a Moon far side crater as base to make a good sized radio telescope such as the Arecibo antenna. http://www.space.com/scienceastronomy/astronomy/arecibo_profile_000508.html

Because you need metal for an antenna and there is not much metel on the moon.

We can and do, I can think of an example with using the moon to focus Neutrinos. (Of course we can't control this).

I guess we could but it would be extremely expensive, would need an insanely long range, and would only work for one side of the planet but i guess we could if we wanted to.

We don't want to. And it would cost a lot of money. People usually don't spend lots of money on thing they don't want.
