How did non-Hams see any setup, not even a CW setup, at field day? Were
they
invited or did they see the field day setup when they were driving by,
and
decided to stop by?

At our field day -- many many posters were distributed over three cities --
we had lots of non-hams attend. It was held right down town near shopping
centers at a local school. All local high school science teachers and Scout
groups were informed. We operated on battery, solar, and generator power.
They saw CW, Satellite, QRP, bicycle propelled generator, solar cells and
dazzling antennas, tuna can homebrew rigs. ATV and videos of Ham Radio. They
were able to talk on the radio by virtue of the GOTA station. A giant
picture board explaining Amateur Radio, Emergency Communications, and
repeaters was fabricated. Also explained what Field Day was for. Handout
sheets -- 200 of them disappeared.

Also, were they male or female, and about what ages were they? Were they
anti-social?

They were every gender and age imaginable as though that would be relevant.
One gal and her two sons 10 and 12 got their ham tickets later on. Another
couple sed wow and both now have tickets. Had a troop of boy scouts show as
well. Several of them now have licenses. Several high schools now have Youth
Ham Clubs. All were very sociable as if that has any bearing on the matter.
We had several volunteers bus in local high school students that were
interested. Ya gotta work at PR and it takes effort and time -- GET INVOLVED

Did they just stop by, or stay a while?

Both, one 11 year old worked Australia and was enthralled --- Mom had to
drag him home for dinner. He now has a Ham ticket, passed the code test as
well later on.


Please explain.
