Some losses, but small.
I don't see a problem with it.

Careful your SWR meter @ max power might be rated for intermittent operaration.
Case in point, I have the highly touted Diamond SX-600 SWR meter. It's intermittent power is rated at 200W. Yet from 100-160 MHz it's only rated for 70 Watts continuous power.
BTW...From 1.8 to 160 MHz it has a insertion loss of 0.2 dB.

Yep, that's true!
