WOW.....50 watt out working the FM satellites SO-50 and AO-27 ? ?

Reduce your power to maximum 5 watt ( 10 dB less than 50) and see if you can solve the TVI problem using a decent directional antenna enstead of a 1/4 wave or 1/2 Larson mobile antenna.

Hang on, hang on, do I still need 1kW ERP to hit VO52 with CW? ;-)

I must admit I *always* run full QRO on the FM sats - a whopping 4.5W into a 6dB yagi.
