The Hong Kong Amateur Radio Transmitting Society (HARTS) (in traditional Chinese, 香港業餘電台聯會) is a non-profit organization for amateur radio enthusiasts in Hong Kong, China. HARTS was established in the 1930s, when the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong was a dependent territory of the United Kingdom. The organization's primary mission is to popularize and promote amateur radio in Hong Kong. HARTS operates and maintains beacons and repeaters at Tai Mo Shan, Tate's Cairn, Victoria Peak, and Tin Shui Wai.
