A balloon is an aircraft so that makes it illegal to transmit.
No transmitting equipment may be operated from an aircraft other than

This may be the case in the UK - I'm not up to speed on that, though -
but as far as US-registered aircraft is concerned, non-aviation radio
equipment, such as amateur radio, common-carrier radio, private mobile
("two-way") radio, and broadcast auxiliary radio is installed and
operated routinely by persons other than the aircraft commander, as
long as the station is authorized either by specific license or by
blanket authorization.
