[Antennas] Feeding a loop

I want to put up a 40 meter and maybe an 80 meter loop if it turns out it will fit.  OK, I know I should feed it with window line but - that will make it too visible and bring the wrath of neighbors.  I currently have a Butternut vertical behind a tree but it is in a ditch and I want the height I can get with the loop.

I could drop a piece of ladder line to or near the ground and then take coax on the ground to the shack.  Will I still be able to use this on multiple bands as if I was running ladder line all the way to the tuner?  Something kike a G5RV does.  I don't want to be limited on power so I do not want to put a tuner at the antenna.

Thanks es 73, de Jim KG0KP
