Immelman-
Section 5-2-6 in the AIM covers Instrument Departure Procedures, which includes both Obstacle Departure Procedures (ODP) and Standard Instrument Departures (SID). Specifically paragraph "e" under this section covers pilot/controller responsibilities when it comes to ODP/SIDs.
IMHO if the ADF was required for the ODP, then the controller was correct. If the ADF was required for the SID, then you probably should have been able to depart. Either way, next time you may want to enter "NO SID" in the remarks section of your flight plan if your aircraft can't fly the SID, if you didn't already try it.
Better luck next time!
