Yes..

I'm thinking red-shift should indicate a different distance if light speed is different.

RADAR and light are both electromagnetic radiation, so travel at the same speed (in a vacuum).

"the one way speed of light is a convention" is a new concept for me. I suppose that's like saying, "It doesn't matter if it's different in each direction", but that doesn't sound right, because if the speeds *are* different, it would mean that stars in the South could be a lot closer than stars...

If microphone detects *this*, the each-way speeds are the same: --I----I----I----I----I----I----I----I-- But *this* means they're different: --I---I-----I---I-----I---I-----I---I---

Here's a thought: How about comparing the speed of light in two directions with sound pulses? Use two light and sound pulse detector/generators say, a kilometre apart, bouncing pulses back and forth (based on light detection) and listen with a microphone in the middle. If the speed of light is...
