I don't know what the rules are for sure, but my guess is that translators are not allowed to have traditional four letter call signs. Every one I've seen has the W or K and then three numbers and then two letters.
Minor update: Last week, WQZQ's owner changed W227DC's primary station source from WQZQ to WPRT-HD4.
The reason for this is that WQZQ-AM is moving their tower location and will be duplexed on Moody Radio-owned WFCN's tower. As such, WQZQ is currently silent.
WQZQ, WPRT-FM, W227DC, and a couple other translators and WBUZ-FM are all owned by Cromwell Radio Group.

They should've called it WQZQ FM instead Greg.

Yeah i guess, but a FM call letter is way better than an translator/transistor name hands down.
