Not that it will do this regardless of the elevation at which it is in
free fall. If this effect is responsible for clock tick lengthening,
then you will also have to explain why that it an altitude-dependent
effect and the rod expansion is not.

Funny that you mention this.

Relativists never talk about the clock rate variations at orbits other then
GPS.
I wonder why.

You are a bit too selffocused.
