Physical and electrical parameters for the 34.3-MHz Cocoa Cross radio telescope are given. The telescope is dedicated to the determination of solar wind characteristics in and out of the ecliptic plane through measurement of electron density irregularity structure as determined from IPS (interplanetary scintillation) of natural radio sources. The collecting area (7.2¿104 m2), angular resolution (0.4¿EW by 0.6¿NS), and spatial extent (1.2 km EW by 0.8 km NS) make the telescope well suited for measurements of IPS index and frequency scale for hundreds of weak radio sources without serious confusion effects.
