COMMENTS
By definition, all terms are squarefree (see A007947); repeated terms here are the squarefree kernels of A280864(n).
All even squarefree numbers appear infinitely often.
1 appears only at a(1).
Even terms appear consecutively in pairs, each pair followed by one or more odd terms.
Conjecture: all odd squarefree numbers > 1 appear infinitely often. If so, then A280864 is a permutation of the natural numbers.
Theorem: a(n) = b(n-1)*b(n) where b = A280738. - N. J. A. Sloane, Apr 11 2017
EXAMPLE
a(61) = 30 because A280864(61) = 60, and rad(60) = 30.
