Hi Travis and welcome to the Phorum.
Well you will be surprised how well it will pick up stations with an antenna connected to it. A single wire will work OK general rule is as long and as high as you can get it. A sling shot can be a handy tool to get it high up into the trees if you have some. A good ground will help too. It will probably cut do on some of the noise you are hearing.As far as connections I'd pick the 1st screw on the left but it doesn't hurt to try others.
