Narrative:

Ground told me to taxi to runway 5 azo new runway 9/27, and there are now changes where run-up and hold short are together. After run-up I told tower I was ready for takeoff and tower told me to do a 180 degree turn. There was landing traffic for runway 5. I did and completed a taxi back. I have not been on runway 5 or runway 9 since the new runway 9/27 completion. My opinion is on taxiway F signs should be larger to inform that this is the hold short for both runway 9 and runway 5.callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: a 'kazo' tower specialist revealed that, recent changes to the airport included relocating both runway 5 and 9 hold short lines. They are now combined into one hold line located on the east/west portion of foxtrot prior to it's right turn to the northwest. All lines/signs are new and plainly visible.
