The semiprimes of this form are: 6, 84034, 166095446411, 11729463145748964146, 13102886255950779594655873516522994057, ...
If k is odd, k is in the sequence iff (k*7^k-1)/2 is prime.
If k == 1 (mod 3), k is in the sequence iff (k*7^k-1)/3 is prime.
a(10) >= 506. 506*7^506 - 1 is a 431-digit composite which apparently has not been factored.
