Nope. It depends on the ERP of the transmitting station and the propagation
characteristics between the two points.

Normalize it for analysis, if you know what that means.

Any size and any type; pick one.

Any rational shape you desire.

Gibberish.

You haven't a clue.

It is not a reflector, it is a horn. Again you haven't a clue.

FYI people have been making horn feeds from various cans for well over
60 years now.

You have a desparate need to if you don't want to continue sounding like
an idiot.

You didn't read the Wiki link either, did you, or you wouldn't have
posted the babbling gibberish below.

Babbling gibberish.

Whether of not a parabolic antenna works or not is purely a function
of it's size in wavelengths. 

Again you haven't a clue.

I actually have a job and buy books.

I've been designing antennas that actually work for about about 50
years now.

Babble.

Worked on phase array radars decades ago.

Then you are pre-school with no basic understanding.
