I think you are mistaken: Radio waves travel at the speed of light. Light takes 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to the earth (~93,000,000 miles / 186,200 miles per second / 60 seconds per minute = 8.3 minutes).

A radio signal from the moon would take about 1.3 seconds (~250,000 miles / 186,200 miles per second).
