Summary

The field of ultra-low frequency (ULF) wave research is an important piece in the jigsaw of the dynamics of the Earth's magnetospheric system. These waves are recognized through their interactions with particles and fields, and energy transfer processes. This note paints a small picture of the history of ULF waves over the last 40 years taken from personal reminiscences and anecdotes. It is based on an after-dinner talk at the Chapman Conference.
