I think they had a variety of places in mind, most of them not in
Kamchatsky.  However, with such long wavelengths you can get away with one
location that covers a good portion of the globe.  I'm sure they gave it a
lot of thought before they picked the Michigan upper penninsula.  Hmm, well
then again maybe it had more to do with a porkbarrel project for a
particular senator.  Either way I'm not privy to the reasoning.

I didn't know there was one in Kazakhstan.  I'll have to look that one up.
