I'm not sure you could communicate effectively. While the waves would propagate throughout the universe, at least in theory, you'd need a gargantuan receiver to communicate effectively and you'd need an outrageous amount of energy to produce even a weak signal. Like AGN Fuel said, good old EM radiation would probably be way more effective.
