Could a multi-frequency amateur radio(or other type)antenna be created, with an easily variable mechanical length, by filling a tube with conductive salt water, possibly ferromagnetic fluid, or metal particles and oil, for example, and changing the mechanical length of the antenna as needed by pumping
liquid in and out of the tube? The antenna would be sensitive to movement and would have to be stationary

Possible, but nearly as effective to use a log-periodic antenna .... |
