Re: [IRCA] 1610 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.
