First thought is that it would heat up and detune itself. But this would
only be a problem on transmission and if the tube holding the mecury was
very thin. Conductivity of mercury is not so great compared to more
traditionally used metals but this should not be significant compared to the
radiation resistance of most antennas.

Forget about the feasibility of this question for the moment.
Could a column of mercury inside a tube of glass be used as an
antenna?
