LS,

If the L/C settings do not change, then the antenna load is changing.  
Check for wind moving the antenna, loose coax connectors (especially if 
UHF type which depend on being tight to provide a continuous path for 
the shield), bad coax, a balun with water in it, broken wires that 
sometimes make contact, and any other thing of that nature that you may 
be able to think of.
