On the contrary a very accurate PA proctection would be required if a POSITIVE feedback to the antenna current meter has to be connected to an unattended TX.

The feedback from the amp-meter to the TX is NEGATIVE (if the
antennacurrent increases the TX output power is forced to decrease). In
combination with a reflected power protection (as used by G3YXM in this TX
design) the TX will withstand any mistreatement including short- and
open-circuit.
As the beacon is meant to be low-power (10mW and less) a relative small TX
power can be used (50 Watts and less), so it can easily be overdimensioned
to provide extra safety.
