[RTTY] Test message - question marks

I suspect there will always be the problem of columns not lining up due 
to mixed fonts on send and receive. If I send a non-proportional font 
and someone prints in in a proportional font or vice versa, misalignment 
will occur.

The original message from N7WA appears to be in a non-proportional font. 
I am thinking I should probably forward it the same way.

If anyone knows a way around this, please let me know.
