Hi, 

After a few phone calls and some library checking I've found that you
aren't able to find exact specs on this dish because the books and
documents which give this information are only released to military
personal with the proper clearance. My neighbor works with these and
related equipment at Miramar in CA, and when I asked him where I might
find some docs on this he laughed... a lot.

But, I did find a number of good sites with information on the dish.
First of all, as you probably already know the dish is 20' in
diameter. The top link below gives a scale model view of the dish from
a few angles, so this should give you what you are looking for with a
bit of math work. At least enough for a Scale CAD drawing and model of
the dish as you have described in your question.

Some of the other links give several more views of the dish and some
functional information. Probably not very helpful in your model
building, but I thought you would probably be interested in the
documentation anyway.

I suppose this is a good answer, for a pretty specific question.
Acually I found all info myself. Thanks for the help anyway.
