In my experience antenna coils need not any baking. In fact even the winding direction, if it is simple antenna coil, matters not.
Baking is, I think, a good idea for oscillator coils where moisture screws up coupling enough for oscillation not to occur.
If however you see lots of green stuf not just where the wire solders to lugs, but under and inside the winding, the wure veing corroded along the length of it, then do bake the coil.

People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.
