At UHF, the transmitter synthesizer VCO (Voltage Controlled Oscillator) 
is either running at the VHF frequency and then tripled, or the VCO is 
running directly at three times the frequency that it is on VHF. 

In either case, any kind of electrical or mechanical disturbance 
(possibly the VCO tuned circuit is microphonic; i.e. sensitive to 
vibration or mechanical shock)  is going to be three times as pronounced 
on UHF as it would be on VHF.
