[SCCC] SCCC Chat

[Bill Shell - N6WS]

Hello All,

We have a DXChat system in Southern California that has been running 
since 2015.  It accommodates both voice and texts.  SCCC and SCDXC are 
welcome to join the group that already uses the system.  There are 
already several of the members of the clubs using the system.

To access DXChat you use the Mumble client software, which is available 
free.  You can contact me directly at my QRZ.com email address, and I 
will forward the connection and login information. For those registered 
users on the GUNsHub Website, the connection information is available at:

https://gunshub.ddns.net/index.php?r=content%2Fperma&id=1092

On DXChat we announce DX, and during pileups, we call out QSX info in 
real-time.  There are channels for:

DXChat (where the DX announcements happen)

General Chats (for general discussions)

TechSupport (for helping others setting up their equipment or solving 
problems)

73, Bill
