After reading over most of the posts again it appears very likely this is being caused by the SMART meters since the times and locations are so random and spread over a fairly large area. It could still turn out to be a HAM radio but I'm leaning towards the SMART meters. SECO should be addressing this as it will only spread to all the area as more homes are brought on line. SECO needs to identify where the neighborhood concentrators are located and how and when the meters are reporting. The homes where the breakers are tripping may be the reporting meters. It is definitely not going to fix itself and it is unlikely they will just come out and say they were causing it.

Plotting all the addresses where breakers have tripped on a local map would be a good tool to get a clear image of where the areas affected are located. It is possible SECO may have just turned up SMART networks in those areas. They should know if they completed any facilities about the time the breakers started tripping. There are methods to use in narrowing this down but it does take some organization.

Since communication is two way SECO should be able to query the meters on homes where the breakers have tripped and see if it causes the breakers to trip again..

The meter below which is a SMART Meter is identical to those on mine and my neighbors homes in Sanibel. It has GE I 210 and CL200 inside the glass.
