National Radio Astronomy Observatory at Green Bank, home of the world's largest fully steerable single aperture antenna.

A "radio quiet zone" has been imposed around this facility, in order to keep any Earth-based signals from interfering with the telescope's work. The rectangular zone includes all points with latitudes from 37.5°N to 39.25°N and longitudes from 78.5°W to 80.5°W (approximately 34,000 km²).
