The cover of current issue of The Hook shows four LSOs, two of whom are
using
their stopwatches. For what part of the landing are they starting and
stopping
their watches?

I've not seen that picture but I'd be willing to bet they are not holding
stopwatches. They should be holding the 'pickle' that controls the waveoff
lights (in one hand) and a mic (to communicate with the pilot over the
radio) in the other.

That is if I recall my EAWS correctly.
