Honest Carlip your brothers Einsteinians (Lee Smolin etc.) have
extracted a lot of career and money from this so you should not be so
hostile. Instead of waiting for a "real effect", just analize the
Pound-Rebka experiment: does it confirm variable speed of light, or
does it confirm constant speed of light? Remember this:

Steve Carlip: "Einstein went on to discover a more general theory of
relativity which explained gravity in terms of curved spacetime, and
he talked about the speed of light changing in this new theory. In the
1920 book "Relativity: the special and general theory" he wrote:
". . . according to the general theory of relativity, the law of the
constancy of the velocity of light in vacuo, which constitutes one of
the two fundamental assumptions in the special theory of relativity
[. . .] cannot claim any unlimited validity. A curvature of rays of
light can only take place when the velocity of propagation of light
varies with position." Since Einstein talks of velocity (a vector
quantity: speed with direction) rather than speed alone, it is not
clear that he meant the speed will change, but the reference to
special relativity suggests that he did mean so. (...) In this
passage, Einstein is not talking about a freely falling frame, but
rather about a frame at rest relative to a source of gravity.  In such
a frame, the speed of light can differ from c..."

Bryan Wallace did know, Honest Carlip, but he died in oblivion while
you and your brothers Einsteinians were fiercely exploiting the money-
spinner called "theory of relativity":

http://www.ekkehard-friebe.de/wallace.htm
Bryan Wallace: "Einstein's special relativity theory with his second
postulate that the speed of light in space is constant is the linchpin
that holds the whole range of modern physics theories together.
Shatter this postulate, and modern physics becomes an elaborate
farce!....The speed of light is c+v."
