Yes... you are. The topic was the speed of light .. not the speed that
other objects move away from light (ie separation velocity). That does NOT
change the speed of light as measured in (ie relative to) a given reference
frame.

All physical phenomena in regions for which the effects of gravitation
are either negligible or are canceled [#] to better than the resolutions
of the appropriate measurements.

[#] Gravity itself cannot be canceled, but its effects
on (say) a laser can be canceled by putting the laser
on a table. Effects on the light of course remain....

Of course for most things some additional theory beyond SR is required
to explain or model the phenomena (e.g. for light one needs a theory of
electromagnetism); but all such theories of modern physics have SR as a
cornerstone, so this is still within the domain of SR.

This is quite basic and has been known for over a century. Accelerated
frames are treated in all intermediate textbooks on relativity. For
example, here's an old post to this newsgroup from 1998: "The Speed of
light in an Accelerated System":

SR can be applied to non-inertial frames just as accurately as to
inertial frames. This is more complicated, and elementary books avoid it
due to the complexity, but there is no problem -- it's just math.

Well, there's one additional postulate known as the "clock
hypothesis" -- that clocks are unaffected by acceleration
(as long as the clock is not damaged). This is known to be
valid for at least some clocks up to accelerations of 10^18 g.

Only for inertial frames.

Without relativity. The sun won't shine (no E=mc^2). Without
relativity. Our human bodies can't exist because if there are
no spins (which resulted from relativity), all the electrons would
act like bosons and all would collapse to the lowest possible
energy states hence no molecules would form. A world without
relativity will be an empty world... actually emptiness can't even
exist because emptiness is also a thing from there being space
thanks to spacetime being produced by the Big Bang. So
Relativity rules the world. Without relativity, there would be
no Pentcho Valev to disturb the world. No nothing. So once
in a while. Let's have a moment of silence and pay tribute to
relativity and the genius who discovered it. They accelerate
human science to light years beyond newtonian. An extraordinary
task that still left many newtonians behind like most crackpots in
this group.

Roberts Roberts hypnotists in Einstein criminal cult much cleverer
than you simply apply Einstein's equivalence principle in the
following way:

http://www.courses.fas.harvard.edu/~phys16/Textbook/ch13.pdf pp.2-4

However in Einstein zombie world the destruction of human rationality
is so advanced that introducing a small confusion into the otherwise
correct analysis is fatal and no physicist would ever find it suitable
to ask the simple question: What speed of light does the receiver
under the tower (or the accelerated receiver) measure? Judging from
your words:

the receiver will measure a speed of light greater than c but then the
respective equation should be given, and here is the awful problem.
You say Einstein's 1911 equation c'=c(1+V/c^2) is wrong but do not
give the correct equation. Give the correct equation Roberts Roberts.
