Multiphoton resonance transitions between ground hyperfine states are used for time modulation of the electron capture decay of hydrogen-like ions with the Gamow-Teller transition 1{sup +}->0{sup +}. The proposed mechanism offers a time oscillating decay with a frequency of up to 0.1 Hz. An experiment to observe the modulation is proposed for ions stored in a Penning trap. An attempt to understand the Gesellschaft fuer Schwerionenforschung mbH (GSI) anomaly with multiple photon transitions is made.
