If the masking tape isn’t an insulator… I have a tin foil\cardboard reflector on one of my antennas and I used metallic duct tape from Home Depot to join all the aluminum foil rolls together. But that adds another $7 to the bill. I should have mentioned that my wife buys the heavy duty aluminum foil for her cooking and that is quite sturdy (more so than the regular stuff) which is what I used. Another reflector that I used was one of her old cooking racks! BTW most people don’t realize that a lot of these high priced antennas can be made from pie plates. Eat the pie and save the plate (google pietenna). Here is a video of somebody who did a double take when he opened up a Clearstream antenna to see what was inside:
