It won't happen. Course if your name is not Connor MacLeod. The radio signal have to reach another civilization, to be recognized there and replied. The most closest star to our Solar system is Proxima Centauri, which is located in about 4.2 light years away. This means if there was a planet with aliens that also listening the space for radio signals, it would take 8+ years to make a contact. Unfortunately there are no planets in Goldilocks Zone. The nearest
unconfirmed planet (Gliese 581 d) where
theoretically can be some forms of life is in 20.3 light years away from Earth. The radio signal was sent to Gliese 581 d in 2009 (find more about it here:
Hello from Earth - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia).
