Yes, the antenna clip MUST be isolated from ground, else you would receive no signals! The rivet which holds the clip to the solder terminal under the chassis (on the underside of the fibre washer) may have come loose. A small screw and nut in place of the rivet will fix that.

Can't really help you on the buzzing above 900 kc, other than to suggest looking for any light dimmers, computers, wall warts, etc. in the vicinity of your radio. Could be interference from one of those types of devices?
