[Antennas] Power Handling of a Dubber Duckie

I plan to borrow the rubber duckie antenna provided with my FT 817 with
another rig (IC 706 MKII...  not the G) on a business trip.  The rig puts
out up to 20 watts on 2 meters.  Does anyone have an idea as to how much
power one of these antennas can handle?  I can reduce output, of course.
The building I'm going to be living in is pretty RF tight so I'll need all
the power I can get.

Thanks.
