What effect does solder
mask have at 2.4GHz? (It's on a 1W PA)

Solder mask over a transmission
line will increase the insertion loss.
At 2.4GHz the degradation
would be still small. As higher the frequency is as worse the impact
of the solder mask will be.
At 2.4GHz no need to worry too much!!

Thank you for the reply. Do you expect any problems with Amplifier (1W)
feedback degrading the signal? Input level +5dbm, 25db gain.

I don't
expect that you will have any problem. In general, solder mask effects
are due on the frequency of the signal and not due to the power level.
If your circuit would work in 5GHz then you would definitely have problems.
