Narrative:

While taxiing to runway 7 for takeoff I rolled across the hold line while switching radios from ground to tower and turning off the taxi light for landing aircraft. Hold line was moved back approximately 6 months ago. Tower observed and sent aircraft on approximately 1/2 mi final on a go around. Cleared for takeoff. Upon arrival in orf I called phf tower and discussed the situation with the controller, who was very understanding but said he would have to file a report. Phf tower controllers and local FAA officials said this happens many times every week and is a big problem due to the fact the hold line has been moved.
