My local NOAA radio on 1610 (about 20 miles away, on top of a 5000 foot
mountain with very good coverage) uses the same synthesized male voice
as probably they all do. I've listened to it many times and it never has
time pips.

I checked the Seattle NOAA weather radio tonight. At :20 and :40 it
had a full blown ID with call, location, frequency, and current time,
all in low-res synthesized voice. No time pips, but another site
could be doing things slightly differently. I also heard the same ID
at :49, so it might be something they do every 10 minutes.

Thanks for the hints Gary...perhaps it is one of the NOAA
relays...maybe someone who hears one of them well enough will tell us
if they have time pips. They certainly jumped out of the mess here.

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).
