I joined IEEE for a while a few years ago with the hopes of being able to

pay additional monies to get access to those files. So I quit the IEEE
and now I keep getting Emails from them asking me to join again at a
reduced rate of course. Now I can't get rid of their constant bugging me
to re-join again. It seems once you get on their Mailing List you can't
get off. Argh!!!

Yes, I still get the IEEE emails, though i have not personally been a IEEE
member for about 10 years. I was only a member when my employer (Marconi) paid
for it.
The problem is that a lot of the IEEE journal articles one finds useful, are not
in the journal one has subscribed to. Most antenna papers are in the IEEE
Antennas and Propagation journals, but sometimes interesting papers crop up in
the most unexpected places. So unless you have a university subscription, its
not really practical to find all the papers you want that the IEEE has published.
I am a member of the IET, which means I keep the C.Eng status, which is worth
far more to me than any library access. The IET don't publish much of interest
to me.
