Long Wire Antenna Question

Hi,
I use a Kenwood R-5000 for Dx listening and I am connecting a long
wire antenna to it. I have two screws on the back labeled "50 Ohm"
and "500 ohm"under "Antenna 1"
The omega letter is next to the number and I am assuming it stands for
Ohms.
Which is the proper place to connect the long wire antenna?
Thank you
Mike

The 500 ohm is best for a straight fed long wire...50 ohm would be for
coax feed
