I'm not 100% certain what your inductor looks like. But in this case, you
should definitely wind them in the same direction. One turn should not look
like a left-hand thread and the other turn should not look like a
right-hand thread.
They may couple to each other, being so close.
Now that I think about it, I may be all wrong. :-)
I suggest that you ask this question on
https://ham.stackexchange.com. I guarantee you that you will get the
correct answer there!
