Asked,

"At the current time, there is only 22 radials connected - which I plan
to
increase to about 100 radials.

My question is mainly, what impedance should I be seeing with this
electrical length antenna?"

Working backwards, the charts indicate that 22 quarter wave radials over
good ground have an equivalent resistance of about 13 ohms. So subtract
that from your reading as a cross check.
