I wonder if a regular satellite dish would work to monitor solar
flux if it were possible?

I said C band *dish*. I said nothing about the toys at the focus.

Sheesh.

If you had a clue you would start with 4 GHz anyway, since
it's bound to tell you something, and the dish will likely
come with C band RF gear.

Of course it's possible. You want one of the big C band
dishes for the best results.

According to this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C_band you are not quite
right.
The C-band does not include 10.7 Ghz

First make your mind up. What frequency are you paricularly
interested in? 2.8 GHz (10.7 cm as initally quoted) or 10.7 GHz?

Ooops..yes...2.8 - 4 Ghz...my math is off...

Dude...10.7 GHz is 10.7 cm

v= c/wavelength so 300,000,000 meters/sec / .1 m = 3 Ghz
