Ever since the dawn of the modern age of communications, we've been blasting EM radiation out into space like a boombox stuck on 11. That plus we sent out probes which are destined for interstellar space.

I, however, subscribe to the idea that a civilization that is capable of interstellar travel has to muster all of the resources, intellectual et al, at its disposal to attain a spacefaring culture and therefore would probably have learned the value of cooperation by then. Of course, such a culture would not be in any big hurry to meet us, at least not until we do a lot of growing up.
