Let S be an endless string which is a concatenation of every binary counting in succession, starting from zero all the way to infinity (without left zero-padding):
S = 01101110010111011110001001101010111100110111101111...
(from concatenating 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, 101, 110, 111, 1000, 1001, and so far)
Let S' be a set of every sequential group of octets (8 bits) from string S, which can be represented as a base-10 number (between 0 and 255), like so:
I'd create an audio wave file whose samples are each octet from S'_10 as 8-bit audio samples, using a really low sampling rate (such as 8000 Hz or even 4000 Hz).
That sound, that particular sound, is what I'd transmit to the cosmos: the binary counting, something with a detectable pattern (although it'd be not so easily recognizable, but something that one could readily distinguish from randomness noise).

"In 2008, RT-70 was used to beam 501 messages at the exoplanet Gliese 581c, in hopes of making contact with extraterrestrial intelligence. The messages should arrive in 2029." - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RT-70?wprov=sfla1
Id freak out about having to make a choice and then just blurt out souvlaki space station because it seems like a safe bet of sm i like at high volumes.
Thanks for the wiki link, OP. You sent me down a pleasing rabbit hole reading about the large radiotelescopes built by the USSR.
And also, completely tangentially, I have nostalgia for playing the very first Destiny game because the environments were designed with those early USSR Deep Space program aesthetics.
It would be funny to broadcast corny 80s dance music to aliens, ngl. Hopefully they don't have that Mars Attack physiology that makes their heads explode to jams.
