So do a variation of Pound-Rebka. The source throws out
10,000,000 cycles of, say, 0.5 micron light each pulse --
about 50 meters' worth. The clocks are synchronized at
the beginning of the experiment, then moved into position.
The experiment is repeated a number of times, and with the
source at point A pointing up, then at point B pointing downward.

The results should be interesting. Unfortunately, the clock
in point A will run a tad slow, interfering with the synchronization.

It's still legal to go .sigless.
