I'll be doing a "teambuilding exercise" at a football game with my wife and am wanting to build a tailgater dish.

I plan to attach (modify) a SWM3 LNB to a 18x20 dish so that I can have a compact rig, and then mount it on an old nonpen that I've pulled from a temporary job. What I need to know is how to set the elevation on the dish. I've found a single youtube video demonstrating the construction, and the notes mention to set the skew to the 18x20... so do I set the elevation the same, or do I set the elevation to KA/KU height? I don't have a triple-phase LNB to check if it's the same height/angle, so any tips will be appreciated.
 
If I remember right elevation is 5 degrees higher than a normal phase 3 dish in my area.
