Narrative:The pilot reported that after takeoff while climbing through an altitude of 200-300 feet, the engine began to run rough, but never quit. There was insufficient power to maintain altitude and he attempted a forced landing on a road. The right wing struck a telephone pole and the airplane came to rest in field adjacent to the road. The pilot reported that he checked the carburetor heat prior to takeoff and observed a drop in engine rpm. When the engine roughness developed, he applied carburetor heat and there was no change in engine condition, after which he turned it off. Examination of the airplane by a FAA inspector found no evidence of contamination in the fuel system or blockage in the air intake system. Spark was obtained from both magnetos. A check of the temperature/dew point from the closest station, 21 miles away revealed a relative humidity of about 55 percent.
Probable Cause: A partial power loss for undetermined reasons.
