I think so; with any noticeable faster than C, can't you just ping-pong between paired receiver/emitters, gaining a little distance into the past with each ping-pong? (If you're only gaining a few nanoseconds with each cycle, might be expensive in equipment or energy, but for the right information from days/weeks in the future - like natural disaster warnings - it'd worth it, even ignoring hypercomputation issues.)
