Why people convert AWST to PET time

Scheduling a call from AWST to PET: a 10:00 AM start in AWST lands at 9:00 PM in PET the previous day, so you can confirm the slot without doing the arithmetic yourself.
Handling a -13h gap: AWST and PET have no overlap inside a normal 9-to-5 day, so real-time meetings need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side. 9:00 AM in PET is 8:00 PM in AWST.
Keeping family and friends in sync: knowing that 8:00 PM in AWST is 7:00 AM in PET makes it easy to avoid calling at 3 AM.

Always state the zone abbreviation, not just the hour. "3:00 PM AWST" is unambiguous; "3 PM" across a -13h gap is not.
With a -13h gap there is no shared 9-to-5 window, so alternate the early start: one week AWST takes the early slot, the next week PET does.

Best time to call between AWST and PET

With a -13h offset there is no overlap inside a normal 9 AM – 5 PM day. PET opens at 9:00 AM PET, which is 8:00 PM in AWST, so real-time calls need an early-morning or late-evening slot on one side.

Business hours overlap
