EXAMPLE
The first two primes of the form 8k + 3 are 3 and 11, so a(1)=11. The next prime of this form is 19; the gap 19-11 is not a record so nothing is added to the sequence. The next prime of this form is 43 and the gap 43-19=24 is a new record, so a(2)=43.
PROG
(PARI) re=0; s=3; forprime(p=11, 1e8, if(p%8!=3, next); g=p-s; if(g>re, re=g; print1(p", ")); s=p)
