%N Numbers k such that 9*10^k - 1 is prime.

%C Also numbers k such that 8*10^k + 9*R_k is prime, where R_k = 11...1 is the repunit (A002275) of length k.

%C 1009567 is also a member of this sequence, but its position is presently undetermined: 9 * 10^1009567 - 1 is prime. - _Predrag Kurtovic_, Sep 19 2016
