The radio signals travel at the speed of light, approximately 300,000 km/sec (186,000 mi/sec). The distance would be 1.28 x 300,000 or about 384,000 kilometers. *The actual time is an estimate, and the Moon varies in its distance from the Earth from 363,104 km to 405,696 km, so this compares well with the mean distance of 384,400 km.

No, and no one else has, either. The Mayan's "Millennium" will be just as big a wet firecracker as our own Y2K. This is just another media hoax to sell books and papers and such, just like the Great Planetary Alignment that was supposed to destroy the Earth with earthquakes, some years back. Some "Chicken Littles" never learn, and are an excellent source of free money to a certain sort of person.
