Maybe swap the cables and set it out again and
see if you can duplicate the noise.

Hi Juan Carlos--
Yes, I have, and with a MKH-30 as well.
Dissipation of the noise over time is common,
even if you leave it turned on in the same
conditions.
When weather conditions seem conducive for to
misbehavior, I power them up several hours before
I need to make crucial recordings.
Over time, if the noise gets worse and happens
more frequently, a component in mic might need
replacing. Include some samples of the noise
incidents if you send it in. Rob D.
