Once the eastward flights finished, the first two HP 5060 A were dispatched to the lab at Washington D.C. H&K waited for one week to receive and accommodate A NEW PAIR of HP 5060 A Cs atomic clocks, before starting the westward flights. I figured out this once I posted above, when thinking why they invested one week between flights. So, my correction is: Both segments (east, west) could be measured separately. What remains is the core of the hoax: They invested about 1 year (1972) to publish the TOTAL DIFFERENCE, but they hadn't any means to communicate data in real time, so the differences could be computed second by second, if you will. It's similar to the case of GPS, as the time differences (or frequency) between satellites and ground stations CAN´T (WON´T) be known in real time. Actually, this could happen by using digital encoding and transmissions, which would be an undisputed proof of SR/GR. But this is not happening FOR A REASON.
