I would expect a gain falloff like this. Probably all the way up to the
650 hz or so there will be some increase.
You do have to account for the mic frequency response in figuring out
how much is parabola. And I assume you were using it without bass rolloff.
Then, for picking up from distance we have to account for the
attenuation of sound at different frequencies with distance. Since lower
frequencies carry better it may all be a wash. Which is pretty much what
I've found out in the field recording. The higher frequency stuff cannot
be picked up from near as far as the low stuff with the dish.
