%N Even numbers not divisible by 3 which are not of the form p + 3^x with p prime.

%C Sequence is infinite, since any integer congruent to 63064644938 modulo 195435717998430 cannot be the sum of a power of three and a prime.

%e 328 is in the sequence since 328 - 3^0 = 3*109, 328 - 3^1 = 5^2*13, 328 - 3^2 = 11*29, 328 - 3^3 = 7*43, 328 - 3^4 = 13*19, and 328 - 3^5 = 5*17 are all composite.
