Default Antenna Connection on Sat800

I ran about a 60 foot piece of insulated wire from my window to a
telephone pole. I connected one end to my radio. The reception is a
lot better for MW and SW then the wip/ferrite int. But my antenna
input on the 800 has a red (sig) and black(grnd) antenna input.
Should I ground the one side when I'm already seeing good signal
strength out of the wire? Can I expect the addition of a ground to
improve my S/N? Reason why I'm asking is because I live in an old
house with two prong power outlets and running a ground to my upstairs
office will take some time. Thx
