Hi, 
 
For a whip, much shorter than a quarter wave against a poor 
ground - who knows? However, you want a number? 
 
So here's a number; 2 - j500 and it won't be too far wrong. 
 
The name of the game in such a situation is "Suck-it and see." 
 
Make an intelligent guess at what the impedance is likely to 
be, rig up a far-field meter and adjust the tap/link/network 
until it peaks. Then go out for a curry and maybe a drink or two 
or... 
 
Alternatively, buy an antenna book and RTFM :-) 
 
 
Cheers - Joe
