No, the check didn't come from the birthday.  The exchange was longer 
then.  It included a date and time at one time.  Then just a date.  And 
toward the end of that requirment, the date was the month and date of 
your birth.  As a result, I got happy birthday radiograms for my 
birthday for many years from contesters like K9GDF.  73, John, K4BAI.
