€ 2:1.   

> Are there standing waves between source and load ?

€  no.  Source Z matters not a jot.  The standing waves are between the 
transmission line that constitutes the SWR meter ahd the load.  .  

>How much power is on the load ? 

€  About as much as you got  

>Where is the lost power gone ?
>
€  It was simply undeliverable.
