I do not think you did anything wrong,you just didn't do anything any more right. Leave it as is.You won't have that much extra to worry about extra losses anyway.

Ken is right about not making a coil too tight especially if the dielectric is foam.The centre conductor can migrate out of the middle and eventually short to the shield especially in a hot place like a car in the summer.
