The time for the message to reach them should equal the speed of the message divided by the distance the message had to travel. The message would have been a radio wave so travelled at the speed of light, 300,000,000 meters per second. So all you need to know is the distance it had to travel. That will be the distance from the surface of the Earth to the Moon (in metres) minus 10,600,000.
