I was concerned about this too. When I was testing one of the modified Orninoco cards from ToxicRanch that has the internal antenna removed from the card, I left it going for about a month without the external antenna.

I have fried many radios because I had shorted or broken coax (or when I just forgot to hook it up at all).
