That's not a concern to me. This will be burried in potting compound,
inside a plastic box. The plasitc box and potting compound have been
used many times for antennas and present no problems. I'm only a bit
worried about heating of the dielectric, but I don't think it will be
sufficient to cause a problem. But since it is in potting compound,
the heat can't escape easily.
