[NLRS] Question on Arecibo dish

The reflector has holes greater than a wavelength at X-band. Ground noise would dominate, and the gain loss from imprecise geometry would eat at remaining gain.

Can someone tell me what the gain is for the 305m Arecibo dish on X band ?   Approximate number is good enough.
