E-skip bulletin boards or online alert resources?

I

IM42A

Are there any resources online that act as alerts to e-skip conditions?

Even in the very limited world of DTV e-skip reception, it would be very helpful if there were someplace to turn, or possibly an e-mail or text alert system, that could let DXers know when and where e-skip conditions have been detected. And there are still low-VHF stations in Cuba (or at least one) that are running analog.

Back in the "good old days", when conditions were up, and one had the wherewithal to do so, you could just kick back and enjoy several hours of low-VHF e-skip, even rolling tape if you could. And even if you had a local low-VHF station, when things would start getting weird, that was your cue to look forward to some very unusual reception.
