I have a quick question regarding loading inductor winding sense for an antenna like a center loaded dipole.

I am about ready to wind my loading coils on the same 26" long, 4.5" dia PVC form. I plan on leaving ~2" between the two inductors in the center of my form.

I was wondering if the "sense" of the turns of the 2 inductors should match those of each other? I think the mutual inductive coupling should be minimal but thought I should get a 2nd opinion before I go to a lot of trouble. My gut tells me to wind both inductors with the turns all going in the "same" direction.
