After almost a year - update Time Owned: 6 to 12 months.
I've had the JK 402T for almost a year. The bottom line is that I have no regrets. The antenna performs wonderfully. I can work just about everything that I can hear. Only contest-station level 40M arrays seem to outperform it. I can't complain. It remains unscathed after several "wind events." If you're looking for a 40M 2-element yagi, I would seriously consider this one.

Super support, Sturdy Time Owned: 0 to 3 months.
After using a narrowband (80 KHz wide at 2:1 SWR) 402BA for ten years I switched to the JK402T so I could use it on both CW and SSB without huge SWR on the long feedline, and a tuner. It weighs roughly twice as much as the 402BA because it is much thicker aluminum. Pieces are CNC machined and it went together without a hitch. W3JK called me during/after installation in case I needed help. Unbelievable support! Although at 45', lower than recommended 70', it covers the whole 7.0-7.3 MHz with less than 1.5:1 SWR from 7.02-7.3 MHz. Worth the cost.
