The radio frequences are easy to measure.
Are there the diurinal and annual effests?

The both of you are childish but are no better or worse than the rest.

It would take 3 satellites referenced off each other and each of those
to a planetary trait to work out the change in the orbital speed of
the Earth from day to day,that hasn't been done and it cannot be done
until an astronomer arrives on the scene with a healthy respect for
planetary dynamics and less for stellar circumpolar motion.

Let me guess,none of you have the faintest idea how the referencing
works and even if I did explain how the equation of time works to
extract the daily rotational component from the variations in orbital
speed,you still wouldn't get it right as additional information is
required and adjustments made.

Continue on trying to impress yourselves,the great English innovator
John Harrison had you lot pegged centuries ago when engineering
innovation is required -

"Now, in the former part of this book, I have treated about matters
pertaining to the strictness of measuring time; and have shewn the
deficiencies of such means as Mr. Graham had taken or made use of for
that purpose; and I have also treated of the improper, troublesome,
erroneous - tedious method, which the professors at Cambridge and
Oxford would have to be for the longitude at sea:"
" But indeed, had I continued under the hands of the rude
commissioners, this completion, or great accomplishment, neither
would, nor could, ever have been obtained; but however, providence
otherwise ordered the matter, and I can now boldly say, that if the
provision for the heat and cold could properly be in the balance
itself, as it is in the pendulum, the watch [or my longitude
time-keeper] would then perform to a few seconds in a year, yea, to
such perfection now are imaginary impossibilities conquered; so the
priests at Cambridge and Oxford, &c. may cease their pursuit in the
longitude affair, and as otherwise then to occupy their time."
John Harrison

Dullards now as they were back then in Harrison's time,they are lost
in the timekeeping system and their celestial sphere carousel and
waste theirs and everyone else's time as Harrison rightly pointed out.
