Thank you for the signal report. It appears to be an approximate report that might not be accurate for your actual location in New Iberia, LA. The location for that report is near the intersection of Center St and Spanish Towne Blvd near Lowes and Social Security Admin.
The database used to generate TVFool reports is out of date, so I did a report for that same location at rabbitears.info (the lowest antenna height it can do is 13 ft):

You can do your own report at this link. I use coordinates from Google maps:

If a simple dipole doesn't have enough gain, you could stack two folded dipoles and add a reflector. This is a commercial broadcast version of the concept:

I would like to have both a VHF and UHF antenna connected at the same time, but I understand that I would need some kind of combiner or diplexer, and I know nothing about that stuff.

The correct device to combine a UHF antenna with a VHF antenna is a UVSJ (UHF/VHF Separator/Joiner) which is indeed a diplexer.

This is also available, but I haven't tested it:

You can also try eBay for the Radio Shack 15-2586.
