Images are all in order, but some have missing packets.

The problem with SSTV is the power required. From some looking it seems that transmitting would need at least 5 watts. This wouldn't be feasible running on the balloon, as it was powered by Energizer Ultimate Lithium batteries.

Oh, yeah FM transmitters can require a fair bit of power.

What is it using then, LoRA type stuff?
