Try "Written on the Wind" by David D. Levine    August 2002
a message encoded in the three-degree background radiation
or
"Time" by Stephen Baxter  1999
Malenfant tunes in to Feynman Radio signals interference in the
background radiation of the Big Bang. He does indeed discover a
message from the future.
or
"Signal to Noise" by Eric S Nylund 1999
Jack discovers something cloaked in the hiss of background radiation
streaming past the Earth from deep space: a message from an alien
civilization.

I cannot recommend any of these stories as I haven't read them.
