Okay. Sorry to be the one that's not understanding what you've done and got you to jogging all over. <pant> Hope I am clear here. Geez - I remember the pain of this puzzle. I think I got a very bad headache and much frustration.
I presume you correlated the blank paper code with the map also.
So you read the diary. Based on Graham's diary, only 3 stations are needed to be turn off to sabotage the whole system.
Based on the Bermuda Relay Station, #2 is the one that is receiving signal input from North America.
Since you have destroyed that relay station, also verified by the 'no signal input' on the stand by the stairs in the bulkhead - no adjustment is needed for that dish.
The other 4 parabolic dishes will not receive any transmission if they are all adjusted to receive input from North America via the destroyed Bermuda Triangle relay station. So, the object of the puzzle is to adjust all the dishes to point at North America (directly or indirectly).
--- Learn which dish points to what continent. Remember that #2 (Bermuda) points to NA. Remember that #2 setting. --- Then point them to NA (directly or indirectly).

#2: When you were in Bermuda Relay station - there's a panel that shows it's getting signal from NA. Doesn't Graham's diary (last page) show a drawing of the dishes? At the AI room - there's a control panel that shows that at lower right there's no signal.

1. Familiarize yourself by going down the stairs and make a whole rotation back to Dish 1. Note that each dish room has a stand that is used to rotate the dish. 2. In between, the stairs is a map that shows the continent that a dish is receiving data from. Since we know that #2 dish is for North America, then we know which map shows where that dish is pointing to. 3. Verify that #2 dish is pointing to NA. Note down the settings. Take note of the setting - 108 on the #2 stand. Move the dish using the arrows to either right or left extreme. Go to the North America map and see that the highlighted area has moved. Go back to the stand and enter 108 again on the stand. 4. Adjust the other dishes to point to NA. Go to the stand on each dish room and click on the arrows to turn the dish. Turn the dish to extreme right or left - 'as far as it goes'. Look at the map that shows its target and see if it points to North America or to a continent that is adjusted to point to N. America in its relay. 3 dishes are needed to be silenced.

Break out the Champagne. I finally finished the game! By the way, I have no idea what this means: "or to a continent that is adjusted to point to N. America in its relay". I just had to rely on luck. I thank you so much for your help MaG. I am going to give us both a break (and Marian) and play a nice casual game next I think.
