Yes, that's how Rohn says to do it. And no, you do not have to use a concrete base section, a standard mid section is perfectly acceptable to place in the concrete.

So the base sticks down below the concrete at the bottom and sits in the gravel so it can drain out?

        Probably works just fine as long as the bottom drain is set up
        properly. However, you're kinda screwed if something damages
        that base section.

        That looks like a regular 10' section with the bottom half in
        the concrete (JMO)...

        Is that an official base section or just a regular section?

        Two bases done.   6 mast supports done.    Weather might
        slow us down.  Oh well
