[NLRS] Trough reflector dimensions

[Dr. Gerald N. Johnson, electrical engineer]

Reflector (focusing) antennas work poorly or not at all unless the
reflector is at least several wavelengths and work better the larger the
reflector. A 10' parabolic dish hasn't enough gain at 432 to account for
the wind catching ability, and isn't as good as a halfway decent yagi
design for gain. Takes 20 or 30' diameter of parabolic at 432 to work
EME, its marginal at 1296 with 12'

The dimensions seem right, to be inches.
