Imagine a giant cube around the entire earth that touches in 6 places -- one on each cube face. Pick 3 faces and place a detector where each touches the earth -- on the surface. You can rotate the detectors around on the surface so that you get an arm in each axis relative to the center of the earth.

Right, that's basically what they do now by building multiple detector facilities. I was talking about multiple arms in a single location.

This isn't necessary since the wave looks the same at all locations on Earth.
