I'm using ladder line to feed a 20m dipole on all bands from 40-10m
(actually, it even works on 6m). Using a dipole shorter than 1/2
wavelength can be tricky, but it should work pretty well on the design
frequency and higher. You will need to use a balanced antenna tuner, or
an unbalanced tuner plus a balun.
There's an article about how I did this in this newsletter:

Ok, I won't be using these resistors after all. Thanks for setting
me straight.
It seems tuff to get going in QRP. I thought I'd roll my own when
possible. I am trying to keep things simple and economical, the QRP
spirit.
Here's another naive idea of mine: I'm planning to use ladder line
too. Now I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop, when I realize coax
will be my only practical choice.
