Default Where does the power go?

Take a dipole, cut for 3.922. Put it up as an inverted V
with the apex at 30' and the ends at 10'. Feedline is 100'
of 450 ohm ladder line/12t 5-1/4" coax balun/30' rg58.

Antenna works nice, esp at night.

Now take the same setup and feed it with an L network
autotuner, say an LDG AT100 pro and run it on 1.825
mhz. Feeding the antenna as a marconi is not an option
due to lack of ground area for radials.

Where does my 100w go? is it lost as heat in the tuner?
(my guess) Is it lost in the feedline due to high SWR at
the apex?
