When a large spherical mass like the Earth is in motion (acting under the effect of an inertial field) clock rates on its surface can be compared to determine both the direction of the masses motion and its speed. Motion can be directly measured using clocks!
The Michelson Morley experiment was a failure because the local speed of light is always the same. You have to compare clocks at multiple positions on a mass to get the vector (direction) and magnitude (velocity) of your movement through space. The inertial field exists for all moving masses but the time differences for small masses are too small to easily measure.
The Galactic Inertial Field Pole (strongest time distortion) which propels the Earth along its galactic journey with the Sun appears to be located about 5 degrees from the Ecliptic Pole (toward the galactic center). The velocity for the Sun is supposed to be about 230 kilometers per second. The clock rate effects from the Galactic Inertial field poles on Earth should be about 16 μs (microseconds).

The default correction of equation (31) is therefore uncertain within at least a factor of 2, corresponding to a minimum of 130 ns of error at f=1 GHz for a source located at an ecliptic pole, increasing to many microseconds for sources within a few degrees of the ecliptic.
Using the celestial reference system, the forward Solar Inertial pole should be around
Celestial Coordinates Right Ascension 17 57 27.8 Declination +60 58 31.8.
(From my rudimentary calculations) The Sun’s direction of motion around the galaxy seems to be about 5 degrees off of the North Ecliptic pole. This would place the Sun’s orbit at 90 degrees to the Galactic Center (but not in Galactic coordinates?). An orbit is usually at right angles to its center.
The part of the Sun’s orbit which is supposed to be a secret is the apparent 30 degree inclination to the galactic plane. The Solar System spends a lot of time out of the crowded galactic plane or human civilization would not be here.
If you had a clock that was at about 61 degrees north latitude when ra 17 57 27.85 was overhead (24 hour shift dependent on time of year) it should read about 16 μs different from clocks not affected by an inertial field.
If a clock at about 61 degrees north latitude were compared to a clock at about 61 degrees south latitude (-180 degrees reversal in the northern clock longitude as it passes through the Earth’s center) the clock rate difference could be as much as 32 μs per second.
(Surface of Earth to center of Earth divided by c) multiplied by (Earth’s galactic velocity divided by the speed of light) gives the clock offset at the leading edge of Earth.
(SurfaceꚚ to centerꚚ/c) x (galactic_vꚚ/c).
Two ham radio operators could detect the time difference between their oscillators if they generated a 1 mhz constant tone while one of them was at this critical latitude (approximately 61). The ionosphere affects the speed of electromagnetic propagation not the frequency of the tone. The difference in time rate is large enough that stable over the counter electronics should detect it. (Stealing that long baseline array was looking problematic anyway).
The Earth’s (Galactic) Inertial Field (61 to 63 degrees North or South latitude) would be present as a 24 hour sinusoidal difference in clock speed comparisons.
