The 1610 kHz frequency is a real jumble here in western Washington at
night, but there are a couple of low-powered NOAA weather relay stations
in Aberdeen, WA and in NE Oregon that might match your description. Here
in Puyallup (about 30 miles south of Seattle) one of these weather relay
stations is usually in the 1610 mix at night, along with the Yakima WSDOT
TIS station or one of the other low powered WSDOT relays (and rarely, the
1610-Carribean Beacon station from Anguilla, with sermons from the late
Gene Scott or his daughter).

Subject: [IRCA] 1610 Time Pips
Last evening while working at the bench, I had 1610kHz running in the
background...just after local sunset. At both 20 mins and 40 mins after
the hour, there were 5 very easily-heard time pip second markers, but no
copy on the station itself....looping E-W at the time....any ideas of
which station this would be?
