Comments

Trivially includes powers of 49, since 49^k = 100..00_7 = 10^(2k) when read in base 10. Moreover, for any a(n) in the sequence, 49*a(n) is also in the sequence. One could call "primitive" the terms not of this form. These primitive terms include the subsequence 49^k + 2*7^k + 1 = (7^k+1)^2, k > 0, which yields A033934 when written in base 7.
