It is shown that interference of the amplitudes of a transition of the Fermi type and of a transition of the Gamow-Teller type in allowed K capture with ..delta..I=0 leads to a nonstatistical excitation of the hyperfine structure states of the final atoms. Measurement of the ensuing hyperfine shift of the x-ray lines can be used as a new method of determining the ratio of the Fermi and Gamow-Teller matrix elements.
