This is a personal account of how I saw ICRF evolve since 1974, with a presentation that is ordered according to the topics: heating, antenna coupling, impurity generation/mitigation and system technology. The nature of the main issues is each time reviewed, recent findings are incorporated, and it is shown how the ICRF community has been able to react to sometimes rapidly changing demands and is indeed resolutely preparing ITER.
