The furthest things that Earth is in radio contact with, the Voyager probes, are currently 0.002 light-years away from Earth. The only way we’re able to communicate with them is because we know exactly where they are and what frequency they’re talking on, and the data rate is very low, a few bits per second. Sending random messages in random directions at random frequencies isn’t conducive to communication.
Edited to add: we also know the data protocol, so the DSP algorithms to extract the signal from the noise are optimized. Without knowing what type of data to expect, it’s all gibberish.

So I guess we ran out of stars to name and square foot plots of the Moon to sell?
